Loads of Commitment for Slightly Above-Average Pay
Pros
Above-Average Pay Good People for the most part High-quality Ad Products to sell (relative to competitors) Solid 401k match and benefits Global work community Indirectly supports Alphabet's attempts to solve existential human challenges
Cons
Below average vacation days (inconsistent depending on country) Wolf-in-sheep's clothing managerial styles / psychological tactics Undeniable workaholic-culture, despite internal rhetoric to the contrary "if it ain't completely broke, don't fix it" mentality with internal/external products Under-staffed (at least in sales), resulting in excessively high client ratios Under-resourced, creating productivity and scoping dilemmas Advancement can be impossible if you are on the wrong team, at the wrong level, with the wrong manager
