      Desperately trying to stay relevant

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Looks good on your resume Free meals Your parents will have heard of the company, even if they still don't understand exactly what you do for a living.

      Cons

      Disorganized management Arrogance and complacency are rampant (think Micro$oft in the 90's) You can't trust your co-workers A collection of failed attempts to diversify, kept afloat by one cash cow (depressing to everyone not working on search) Most managers actively sabotage your efforts at working on a 20% project -- very frustrating.

      Great place to work, but...

      Finance manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to work. Free food, free gym, plenty of autonomy and perks. Interesting speakers come into talk and we can generally set our own times and get our work done to our own rhythms.

      Cons

      Interesting projects are hard to come by outside the US hub. There is a hierarchy even if they claim there isn't. Decisions take forever - everyone's opinion is valid, yet there are too many decision makers and no decisions. Promotion is more about who you know that what you did. You will work long hours - usually till 7pm.

      Fantastic place to learn, grow, and work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Google takes care of its people. On the sales side, I enjoy a fantastic work/life balance and really love the work that I'm doing in programmatic ad sales. Vacation time is fair, pay is fair, and the perks are insane.

      Cons

      If you get stuck with a bad manager, it can really ruin your experience a bit. Need to know how to navigate the corporate structure in order to be successful.
