Google reviews

Poor culture, toxic team environment, salary and stock very average. Google Cloud was the worst place I have worked at so far, especially for the poor culture. very disappointing!

It is nearly impossible to transfer into engineering if you aren’t already there, and the company culture is very strange. You are expected to be friends with your coworkers, and you are expected to treat Google as though it is the best company in the world. The diversity and inclusion strategies are very tokenizing. As a queer person, I was immediately asked to get involved with diversity efforts. The culture also seems to be such that people like to pretend that Google is not a corporation that makes money. Worth mentioning also that I was hired for a job description that had nothing to do with my actual role. They told me it was consulting but turns out it was product support. Big fat lie. Also, the team I was on did things that were antithetical to the company’s “mission” and cloaked it under the guise of a necessary evil. Basically, unless they offer you a job as an engineer, avoid.
