      Pros

      There is a band of salaries at each level, and when you start at Google or transfer departments, you can and should negotiate because they will start low. I got +8% to base.

      Cons

      Employees don't feel comfortable/safe giving feedback about managers because they're too protected by the next manager. Be wary of who your hiring manager will be.

      Great company to kickstart your career: global culture, coworkers and perks will make you want to never leave it.

      Pros

      As fairly noted in numerous other reviews: -Great culture aimed at bringing the best in employees -Perks range from the famous free food and billiard tables to covering two-thirds of your education -Global satisfaction survey results are really acted upon by global and local management -Competitive Salary and bonus packages -If you are motivated to learn you will learn a lot and from the best teachers and sources -You get to test new cool stuff often before it is even announced to the public

      Cons

      -Over the past few years became a huge corporation, slowing down promotions and internal movements, reducing time for extracurricular projects and skyrocketing targets. -Average management is often very average -New hires with extensive experience in the field are often too overqualified for the basic work they are doing in sales or support
