      Google Enterprise as a Contractor

      Enterprise sales associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Super smart people, lots of free stuff. Amazing to work at Google, just to realize it's not all that.

      Cons

      Workaholics, intense competition, constant game of thrones! Contractors are sort of a sub-class, make less money, have limited access to meetings, projects and facilities (for the same position).

      Not as great as people make it out to be

      Pros

      Decent pay, and the facilities are great as expected. If there's one thing that I find that's good about this place it's the actual place. Other than that, nothing really.

      Cons

      Despite what's official, the work expected of you and thus the hours that go into the job are ridiculous and not one that you can expect any sane company to expect.

      Your brain will explode from boredom

      Business operations associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Your mom will be impressed -Easy money, free back rubs -You can leave for hours at a time and no one will know -Work with nice, smart people who also went to Stanford -Improved patience dealing with horrible traffic to Mountain View, slow bureaucracy -Do they add MDMA to the mint spa water in the cafes? You'll only know if you try!

      Cons

      At some point in your tenure with Google, it will become clear that you live in an organization that is engineered to keep you numb, well-fed, and scared of the outside world. (This maybe should be listed under "Pros", since you'll gain a sense of empathy for hobbits, cows and children in cults). You will cope with onsite yoga or by spending your bonus on new Teslas. The feeling will endure. The problem with Google is that it thinks it's Pixar (fresh, zany, innovative) when it's actually Disney (bloated, iterative, a little creepy). Do you have a really fat mortgage to pay off from that Mission fixer-upper? No? Then find a job somewhere where you'll actually use your brain and have an impact.
