Pros
Google is like a CrossFit gym. You come in from whatever walk of life you come from and you come out skilled in areas you didn’t expect. It’s a cool please to work but it is not an easy to place to work. Work is involved from the time you apply until you move onto another company. Working here is cool because you are surrounded by really smart people that can be incredibly helpful. There are Endless opportunities to learn as much as you want about a large variety of topics across multiple fields The in-office experience is like a college campus experience. Studious. Fun. Relaxing. Aesthetically pleasing flexible work options that can benefit all types of employees
Cons
Being in a space where everyone is smart and use to working tirelessly puts a lot of pressure on people. Think of it like an advanced college course right before the final test before graduation. If you don’t have specific career goals it can be easy to get caught up in a heavier workload than you anticipated. Burnout is real and it’s something that needs to be brought into conversation.
