      Good place, could be better

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a great place to work as a programmer. The tasks we work on are mostly interesting and challenging, and the breadth at which your work will be applied is nearly unparalleled, certainly in the online business. The people are fun and smart.

      Cons

      The people are very smart. If you're used to being a hot shot, you may not be any more. If you're looking for the startup atmosphere, well, don't, because it's gone. You will still have more autonomy than a lot of other companies, but you will not have complete control over the project you work on.

      Pros

      the benefits, especially the food and fluid hours, are great. so is the fact that everyone around you is incredibly smart.

      Cons

      i think google is expanding too quickly, and that they are letting in too many people who don't meet the standards. for example, i knew an employee who claimed that they didn't have any code to show for the past several months of work because their computer's hard drives crash, yet everyone knows that no one stores code on their own computer... there are version control repositories.additionally, i know great people who have not been hired for random reasons. such as failing an interview which required coding in C over the phone...

      Best job ever

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The developers I work with at Google are the smartest I've ever been around, and as a result, I've improved my own skills more in my 9 months at Google than in both of my previous jobs. The development process runs extremely smoothly, and management doesn't get in the engineers' way of creating great software. We get the best hardware to do our work on, and the non-work-related perks are wonderful... free food, great health benefits, the list goes on!

      Cons

      The only downside for me is that I have an hour-long commute to get to work (but it's worth it!)
