      Internal mobility is difficult in some departments.

      Pros

      Development tools are perfect. Engineering Excellence is peak and you'll improve your coding skills significantly.

      Cons

      Be aware that internal mobility between ladders/locations are very difficult in some departments where internal recruiting is low. CorpEng (Corporate Engineering Department) is one of the top department that is applying this policy since management is only interested in their own benefits. Even you agree with some manager for mobility in other departments, they'll try to interrupt the process. They don't look at employee's career/family perspective. Be aware about department you're joining after interviews.

      Great place to work, but everyone paid one level above their capability and doing job one level below capability

      Hard work is rewarded with raises and bonuses

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Whenever I've worked extra hard or stood out, I've been rewarded with salary bumps and big bonuses. I like that my accomplishments are noticed by my manager and peers and rewarded accordingly.

      Cons

      Google is a big company; you need to make sure you're on the right team. I felt suffocated on my first team but LOVE my second (current) team. Some of my friends have had very different experiences because they're on different teams.
