      As a Google contractor

      Quality assurance analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As a contractor, working on Google campus seems to carry with it many of the benefits that everyone gets while working for Google, and therefore, is awesome.

      Cons

      Adecco is like other staffing companies. They're ... nothing to write home about, and I remember the paperwork for getting the job seeming to be a little bit "too much", but once I was on board, the Adecco rep didn't really have to involve himself in the project we were on, so, it was pretty quiet.

      Fantastic large company to work for; like it less than when I started 5+ years ago

      Senior business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -"best" large company to work for; manages to be fun despite its size -company works on really cool products and at a massive scale; I use the products daily and can see how they have shaped the world around me -compensation high (base pay, bonus, stock, gifts, etc), great 401k matching -fantastic array of guest speakers, on-campus events, and team offsites

      Cons

      -the growing size of Google has impacted its culture negatively (people don't know each other and are less accountable for being nice to "strangers" vs. when I started in 2010) and its perks -Job titles are lower than comparable jobs outside of Google -Commute from SF to Mountain View has gotten worse each year I've been employed (yes, it's a personal choice to live in SF and commute, but lack of SF jobs is the root con here) -Tech promotion process is very labor-intensive and black box-y in terms of feedback

      Great environment, interesting projects, big company politics

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with incredibly bright people in interesting well funded projects. It is a ground breaking company that is doing so much across so many fields. I do love the company through its faults.

      Cons

      Conservative culture in terms of innovation/trying new ideas (despite what you might think from external impressions). Lots of politics and infighting depending on the group you're on (I was on early Android & Google+, both very tumultuous). I had 12 different managers in 4 years. Product Managers are often not highly valued there compared to engineers for example.
