Great place to work but below par salary.

Software engineer iii

Business Outlook

Pros

Google engineers are some of the best I've ever worked with.

Cons

The perks are pretty good. But the salary is way below par. You could earn twice as much working in the financial services sector for the same hours. The rationale that you are working for Google so you should be happy with your salary is bogus.

What's it like to be a Google engineer.

Software engineer iii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

No problem is too large to tackle. You get a chance to work on things not possible elsewhere because of the scale of the resources you have available. You also work with very smart and capable people.

Cons

You're given the opportunity to work on your own ideas, but you often find that someone else is working on exactly the same thing. It's hard to find an interesting piece of work that you can call your own. Also projects are getting more and more siloed into the different offices, so you will only be able to work on specific projects.
