      Still as innovative a company as ever

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lot of transparency for a company of its size - Super smart co-workers - Outstanding benefits, at least in the Mountain View office. - Innovation in several areas of technology. Not afraid to stand up to big telecom/government etc. in the interest of the common good.

      Cons

      - Growth within the company is difficult unless you're prepared to sacrifice personal life and sleep, or if you got in the company early enough to manage people who can implement your ideas. - Inconsistencies in pay within grades and across tracks often make me feel my PhD wasn't worth the N years of effort.

      Pros

      Good name in your resume, but less opportunity since it is a huge companies now. Further, it is up to the team you are working on and the managers. The management structure is kind of mess. But it is full of tenants who you can learn from.

      Cons

      less opportunity since it is a huge companies now.
