      Lot of Activity - What are we Doing?

      Pros

      - Perks (cafeterias, massage, wellness programs, commuter shuttles, bowling alley (!) etc. etc.) are amazing - Sharp people - Flexible work environment - Strong teamwork culture

      Cons

      - A lot of concurrent initiatives, but unsure of status/followthrough/reasons for these initiatives - A sense that we are over-hiring - Commitment to "dogfooding" is admirable--but sometimes it's OK to use a non-Google application to manage some of our work. - There is a tendency to promote people who need more seasoning. Managing people is not a perk of promotion, and not everyone can be a manager.

      Pros

      - Work is challenging and non trivial - Colleagues are smart - Working at Google is fun - Exposure to real users

      Cons

      Salary is lesser than what i want it to be. Even with recent salary hikes, i feel that working in remote offices is not beneficial.

      Happy and satisfied in the first 3 years but recognition and opportunities are now limited

      Pros

      Pretty satisfied with some of the indirect benefits (company/team outings, onsite perks). Most peers and coworkers made work more enjoyable. Also great to work with some of the smartest people in technology.

      Cons

      Too many overachievers and "type A" personalities all fighting for the next big thing. The company has grown so much that competition is greater thus limiting advancement. Lots of very junior and inexperienced managers who were great individual contributors that got promoted to be managers. Also not much support from upper management to grow.
