Google reviews

Google used to have an amazing company culture and flat structural leadership. It's what made Google unique and stand out from the rest. Google has since lost it's overall 'unique company culture' by squeezing out innovation unless its perfecting AI to beat out its competitors. Company moral has tanked, employee input no longer feels authentically heard, valued, and actionable, budget constraints have caused a slim chance in promotion - even when consistently demonstrating next level performance. It's also become difficult to transfer btwn different teams to grow one's Google career. Headcount and resources have been restricted, resulting in stiff competition when applying to new roles. Google has become another heavy, top-down corporate enterprise using tall organizational structure for more leadership control. I have truly enjoyed working at Google for many years. These past 2-3 years have really flipped in the opposite way. My hope is that Sundar and leadership revert to putting Googlers and users first, rather than stock and revenue.

Young managers who do not know how to manage people, engineery PMs who do not have vision who just make features, incompetent HR who do not make culture better
