Pros
-big company with a lot of freedom to do your work however you want to -free, tasty meals throughout the day -nice offices with enough breakout areas
Cons
-2 class system with divide between Googlers and contractors -lots of fakeness from a lot of employees. Many people pretend to be happy go lucky and caring people to impress their superiors but once they are out of sight they show their true colours -Googlers will categorically ignore you and spend less time with you if you are a contractor -Zero job security. I was made redundant before the end of my contract -I am disappointed with the level of intelligence in many employees. A lot of them are very average but will try to talk down on you for no reason -Not much diversity especially in leadership roles -No proper onboarding for contractors. There is chaos when you first start and you are expected to figure it out on your own. This leads to a lot of inefficiency and time loss -No proper access for contractors for internal tools and resources. We are unable to do our work in a time efficient way, so many obstacles in getting access to internal documentation.
