Google Software Engineer (Site Reliability) reviews

- Social Justice work is included in your performance review. Some engineers spend up to 50% of their time working on diversity and inclusion. So they've essentially become social workers. - Various orgs in the company have engaged in what can only be described as struggle sessions. Where employees admit that they are racist, sexist, and homophobic during meetings. - An internal mailing list tracks micro-aggressions committed each week. Everyone is walking on egg shells. - Managers have admitted to giving bad references to employees that "make diversity and inclusion difficult." Which is not a very good precedent considering what a subjective criteria that is for wrecking someone's career.

The work environment can be very stressful. Open-office floor plans dominate. They set high-pressure expectations intentionally, to make people strive harder. If you have an anxiety disorder, this is *terrible* and you will not thrive here. Attempting any sort of disability accommodations process will become an N-way telephone game from hell.
