      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outstanding technical environment. Lots of talented and super smart contributors. The perks are really nice: food, guest talks. 20% time for engineers to invent what they really care about. The company is trying real hard to do good for society and promote a progressive agenda.

      Cons

      The culture rewards the top performers. It favors young professionals who just graduated and have tons of time to dedicate to work. It is much more difficult for experienced contributors who have constraints outside the office: family, hobbies, etc.

      Pros

      Food Lots of primary colored campuses McKinsey folks around campus ignore all they learned to lead Google (great for ineffective leaders, bad for those that stand for change) PR team is a well oiled machine Google is in its own reality, outside opinions that don't agree are ignored / rebuffed

      Cons

      Ex mcKinsey folks become sheep like here and forget that their insights could be used to affect change at a Recruiting function that is lackluster (take them out of The gplex) they couldnt recruit top talent. Several recruiting leaders from the UK and seem to lack basic strategy skills but excel at their own PR Recruiting is a protracted process that doesn't need to be Hiring Managers take mediocre results and lack ability to sniff good recruiting talent from folks that talk a good game Recruiters cow tow to a team of paper pushers that review Packets to the detriment of great candidates and candidate experience
