      Not perfect, but better than most

      Operations team manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Pay and Benefits, and a very dynamic work environment. You are surrounded by very smart people and you get to work on cutting edge technology. It's a fun place with the look and feel of a college campus. You are constantly challenged due to the fast pace and the intelligence of your co-workers.

      Cons

      Things move very quickly and change so often that you sometimes become weary of it. Lots of growth and associated chaos in middle management in the last 2 years has had a big, mostly negative, effect on the culture. The company is slowly but surely losing it's quirky culture and feels more "corporate" each day.

      Pros

      -My co-workers - working with smart and creative people -Great working environment and benefits -Academic environment promoting continued learning

      Cons

      -Lack of good managers -Very little promotion from within and internal movement -In more non-engineering focused roles, its more about how much you talk versus your results (I have seen many people who are actually not that great be promoted because they knew how to talk to the right people)

      Google - dream job for the right kinds of engineers

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with many of the brightest people on some of the most challenging problems. See your efforts noticed in the media and in the lives of your friends and family every day. Engineering at Google is, more than ever, a dream job for the right people. Think really really big! There are terrifyingly few limits to what you can do here.

      Cons

      Competing with many of the brightest people can be frustrating. You will not be "the expert" on more than one topic no matter how smart you are. Google is a big globally distributed company and we have not yet solved all the problems that follow from that.
