good place to start a career, not to grow one
Pros
the perks are the reason to work at google. the food, the shuttle, the casual culture, working from home, massages, etc. Typical PMM roles include: Product launch marketing: You'll ensure that all stakeholders (such as customers and the sales team) are informed about product and feature launches. You'll conduct market research, write communications, and do release planning with engineering, product management, and the sales organization. Field marketing: You'll devise marketing strategy and provide up-to-date market research to enable a true consultative selling approach for the field sales organization. This involves a lot of interaction with the sales and product management team, creative use and presentation of market research, and the ability to create true marketing solutions for customers. Consumer product marketing: Working with one of our portfolio of consumer products (such as Froogle or Gmail), you'll devise a plan to improve customer satisfaction or increase customer acquisition. This involves significant amounts of market research, product-usage analyses, positioning, and customer segmentation.
Cons
the culture at google makes it pretty hard to advance. the company is pretty bottom heavy and the top is controlled by a small group of lifetime googlers.
