Pros

Excellent Compensation Really Great Perks Working with some of the best and brightest Access to cutting edge technology Prestige

Cons

Despite paying lip service to the importance of diversity, your success or failure at Google all comes down to who you boss is. The way that performance in sales roles is judged heavily favors neurotypical people in that you are expected to have immediate recall and be able to task switch constantly. This is incredibly difficult for people with ADHD and despite going to HR and opening conversations with my manager I was managed out, despite consistently hitting all of my sales goals. There has also been a marked cultural shift away from the original core tenants. This comes with the type of growth they have experienced but it can be disheartening to see the values the company used to stand for be cast aside in the pursuit of ever increasing revenue goals.

Pros

You get a lot of the corporate perks of the company. Unlimited sick leave Cafes and gyms Helps apply to other positions at google. You get to be a googler

Cons

You’re not really a googler US interns get paid more than you. Forced spring break to eat up 1 week of allotted vacation hours. Morale is low. High turnover Caps out at teacher 3. Google directors are level 8 You need to request pto a year or more in advance. Work life balance is struggle with requesting pto/flexibility with management.
