Pros

Lots of intelligent people who are great to work with on average.

Cons

Became too risk averse in the business side of things and there are too many meetings with no meaning, no decisions.

Pros

Flexible schedule, easy money, work from home

Cons

There is no longer any work. If you think you have a chance to make income guess again. It was good at first but then this job post has been up forever and they hired too many people. There is never a queue of clients to pick from. No money to make. There used to be but they keep this job posted and keep hiring and now there is no work. The queue is forever empty.

Google is great, recruiting org not so much

Pros

Free food Google campus atmosphere Bright, friendly colleagues (when you aren’t working directly with them!) Salary

Cons

The recruiting org at Google is a toxic environment- point blank. Constant political plays, people throwing others under the bus (sometimes even by their own manager), the passive aggressiveness pervades all emails and announcements. Constant reorganization leads to people panicking or politicizing for a new role to jump ship. High turnover and low, low morale! Fear based leadership. Coming across people crying in the office or having anxiety issues is not uncommon. How can your recruiters sell people to work at company when they’re constantly suffering from anxiety and mental health issues?!
