Google Technical Program Manager III reviews

1) Salary is OK comparing to increased college new hire. You don't get much increased after hire. 2) Hiring bar is lowering YoY as hiring more people.

- Food didn't taste that great - Long hours - Shuttles crowded - Good luck finding those smart people - Good luck getting 20% time - No freedom to move around to new teams, promotions difficult - Many employees were extremely weird, even for me - Dreary, depressing campus where everyone seemed unhappy and worried about being seen as stupid. Literally, the place was filled with insecure people that took every opportunity to make themselves feel smarter than everyone. I was singled out and harassed everyday for reasons unknown to me. I was followed around, and whenever I tried to work my co-workers would comment on the code I was writing as I wrote it (or whatever else would throw me off and prevent me from being able to concentrate). They also took workplace monitoring to a new extreme, because it seemed as though everyone around me could access my computer, see what I was doing, and cause my computer to lock up. I was constantly pushed to interact with my co-workers and to ask questions, but each question asked was met with a non-answer and a dismissive attitude as though they were worried I'd use the answer to show them up. At the end of the day it was just a job as the culture was not as advertised.
