Pros

Great benefits and. pay and not much else

Cons

Google Cloud has hired hundreds of enterprise sales reps and given them lists of 5 or 6 small accounts to cold call. 100's of reps are leaving because of no opportunity to succeed.

Pros

Hands down one of the best tech companies in the world. For a company this size, it’s very progressive and forward thinking. If you’re a fresh grad you’ll learn how to work within a system and learn from some of the best in the business. If you are a very capable person and are tired of grinding at a smaller company, Google is also a great place to cruise. You’ll get decently challenging projects without the stress of having to produce right away. If you’re looking for a big company with good pay, stability and flexibility. Look no further.

Cons

If you’re looking for a more challenging job or want to be able to see your impact faster, this is not the place to be. If you prefer to grow into your role instead of being groomed for a role then you’ll have to look elsewhere. As progressive and flat as a big company can be, Google at the end of the day IS still A BIG COMPANY, you will inevitably feel like a cog in a giant machine just like being in any other big companies.

Pros

onsite perks (which we weren't able to access close to 2 years due to WFH/Covid), medical & dental insurance, working with incredibly smart and talented people

Cons

forced hybrid approach, no flexibility with location/ remote work (except T&S and Eng orgs), promotion process is very political and entirely depends on managers, middle management in Dublin is REALLY bad; a lot of talks/ trainings about work/life balance when in actuality the whole perf process push people to burnout
