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.

Pros

There are no pros. Do not work here!!!!!! You'll hate yourself for it.

Cons

The pay new pay model is horrible! I've followed the examples that they give as quality work and have done everything that they ask that we include per message and my "quality" level keeps dropping. I've reached out for advice and have not received any response. I truly believe that they're doing everything that they can to make sure the stylists earn as little as possible. Typically earn about $5 an hour.

Pros

You get benefits and support if you follow the corrupt approach

Cons

Working at Google is about being corrupt; that is, support the money making machine. That is why Google is one of the most wealthy companies in the planet.
