Great place to work for an engineer

User experience engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- proximity to users: as an engineer working on internal tooling/infra it is great that we can get frequent and detailed feedback from our users, furthermore since most of the users also have engineering/research backgrounds the quality of constructive feedback/suggestions and ideas is great. - exciting mission where engineering plays a key role: this is a good place to make impact - engineering culture: we are lucky to be able to utilise a lot of google's infra, processes and engineering practices. Many engineers who work here are ex-googlers too. - good work life balance, nice people.

Cons

there's a lot to do and a lot of opportunity for impact, at times it can be challenging to prioritise or protect the energies and decide which one of the projects to focus on.

Great collaborative environment + lots of interesting technical challenges

Staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Incredibly collaborative and positive environment - Lots of interesting engineering problems to tackle - Opportunities to collaborate closely with research - Substantial freedom to gravitate towards the problems that interest you more - No micromanagement - Fairly light bureaucracy - docs and presentations are very important but fairly informal - Not subject to "commercial" deadlines - you can typically work until something is ready, within reason - Hard work (and perhaps also overwork) is rewarded but there is a lot of respect of work-life balance; the company's behaviour and understanding during the pandemic has been nothing short than stellar so far

Cons

- Having lots of smart and effective coworkers can sometimes take an emotional toll if you are prone to self-doubt - Losing a bit of the startuppy vibes from a few years ago, although perhaps inevitable after years of huge growth - Dealing with internal Google infra is super-interesting but at times frustrating (as it's designed with complicated billion-users use cases in mind, not really supporting run-and-forget research stuff)
