I work in Google Cloud in the Seattle office, and culture is divided. On one side, there are smart people taking smart decisions, but on the other side there is what I consider a strong white masculine fraternity culture. Sadly, this type of culture comes by people in the buddy-buddy-group taking on short shiny projects, with poor long term support or design, and many times without understanding of the problem in question. The dedicated smart people will actually try to make these ideas work, but the credit would be taken by someone else, or sometimes with others leaving a big mess, as I have seen several times. In my team, this culture goes two levels of depth in management, making senior management unapproachable, and also reflects on the products themselves. There are many visionary type projects, but with broken functionality, or many incomplete solutions for the same goal,

long work hours. Very hard to maintain a good work life balance. Constant fear of being fired. Too much of a bureaucracy, you feel like dont contribute to anything.
