The Best Culture & Outstanding Compensation
Pros
Google is very generous with the total compensation (TC), which is composed of: 1.) Highly competitive base salary depending on your "Level." 2.) Annual bonus (40% of base) 3.) Equity (front-loaded 33%/33%/22%/12%) 4.) Sign-on bonus 5.) Relocation package Cool perks: Googleplex gym, free food (3 meals a day + snacks + drinks), 50% 401k matching up to $19,500, hybrid work model (MF at home, TWTH in office), PTO, education reimbursement, internet & phone reimbursement, massage chairs & nap pods, cool office spaces with different themed rooms (Harry Potter, etc.), bikes and scooters to get around campus Everyone at Google is intelligent, helpful, and friendly. The best part is diversity and inclusion. I've never felt safer being different, sharing unique ideas, and being myself at any other organization. The leaders and my peers constantly challenge me to grow in more ways than I can imagine. There are different programs for mentorship, which helped me discover my career path. I feel supported here, and the kindness of my team is genuine, and I feel like everyone wants to help each other.
Cons
It's a big tech company, so it takes more time to make an impact vs. a tech start-up. There are politics and nuances to getting promoted, but that's a given with any big corporation.
