- Recent management changes (Ruth, Sundar) are definitely changing the company culture. Its not entirely bad changes, just different than before. - Long commute from San Francisco with minimal flexibility. Company is losing good employees as they move their offices further south to Sunnyvale or San Jose. Longer commutes on buses are taking major tolls on employees health (back pain, tech neck). Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and Massage Therapists are basically acting as a triage department for these issues. - Can be hard to switch between job "ladders" if you don't love your current field

-A LOT of politics going on between vendor contracters who do the same job for less salary compared to full time googlers. They treat the contractors like a ugly duckling. -low salary for contractors. - contractors become googles experimental rabbits. They hire great people to do great job and when they see that the project is going well they fire all of the contractors. They then advertise that google is looking for new staff. Instead of hire the hard working contractors to full time who already knows the products well they look for brand new people with no experience. -Lies to teams about re org saying that everyone will have a job when truly the whole team gets fired. - The google bubble of their own little world can be blinding
