      Pros

      Software engineers are only respected @Google. It is engineering-driven company. The perks are amazing including free breakfast, lunch, an dinner every weekday. Bonuses and equity grants are great for SWE or higher level L5+ in non SWE. Work life balance is great.

      Cons

      Be aware of gTech WSE roles. If you are being interviewed, only consider SWE unless you don't care. Bureaucracy, slow to respond to market threats, bloated teams, cross-divisional tension. The quality of the engineers is possibly dropping with lots of unexperienced engineers. Promotion in gTech is based on who you know. Google has lots of biased against minorities such as caucasian Americans.
