      Great place to work!

      Product manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You'll work with some of the smartest and most accomplished people in the industry. People truly believe they can change the way things are done. The ability to have your products make a huge impact on the industry. Constant innovation and change is part of the culture.

      Cons

      The company is starting to get larger, so while a lot of the entrepreneurial spirit of the original teams is still present, there is starting to be more layers of management and bureaucracy.

      As good as a large company gets

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competent people. Enough resources to succeed. You have the chance to build products that millions of people will use, rather than worrying if you will be able to build something that anyone gets used. Management is generally in touch and cares--their opinions are sometimes wacky, but the fact that they know about every project and aren't being bamboozled by middle managers is a huge win as compared to most tech companies this size.

      Cons

      Politics have gotten worse. People have gotten more defensive in their decision making -- there's a disappointing lack of trust between employees that didn't exist in the past. We have hired too many people who are only interested in making themselves look good and have lost sight in what's best for the company as a whole, and management hasn't successfully recognized and fixed this in many cases.

      Great place to start a career, but not necessarily to advance a career.

      Pros

      Brilliant, friendly co-workers, relaxed environment, and free food are all big plusses. Also, having Google on your resume opens a lot of doors and enhances your personal branding.

      Cons

      Limited opportunities for advancement, arbitrary compensation system, lack for feedback/professional development.
