      Getting Too Big

      Staffing manager

      Pros

      Great mission - creates large impact and affects people's lives. Always pushing innovation with high risks projects like self driving car and Google Glass. Googlers are compensated very well and there are lots of perks.

      Cons

      This may not apply to the entire company because my experience was in the Human Resources department. It has become bureaucratic and very political. Maybe this is part of being a 50,000+ company. There's too much red tape that slows down the ability to get things done. Also, success is becoming dependent on who you know and how much you sell yourself. It's no longer about your accomplishment or abilities. Title and level are becoming more important.

      Great perks, but proceed with caution when choosing a role.

      Pros

      The perks are amazing, food, gym membership, transportation, massages, trainings all provided. If you're savvy enough you can find your way into working on some pretty cool things.

      Cons

      Too many people doing jobs they're overqualified for. This leads to increased employee dissatisfaction and turnover. It can also cause a bit of overhead as intelligent people look to inject meaning/impact into low impact roles. Also be cautious of the job descriptions when applying. They can be intentionally vague and you may end up doing something you have absolutely no interest in. Far too often have I seen a person take almost any job just to get in the door and end up miserable.

      This is Disneyland

      Pros

      While those who come to Google right out to school may not realize it, Google is really Disneyland. Nowhere else in the world is there a company that offers the same breadth of opportunity, innovation and incredible support for its employees. It is *not* normal anywhere else to have three michelin star dining experiences, easy access dry cleaning and car detailing, gym and massage services and more.

      Cons

      Perhaps the only con is a result of the 'pro' above. There are a lot of people who have only worked at Google and no where else since graduating from college. There is a lack of appreciation for how lucky we all are.
