      On the decline

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great perks (especially the gyms, food and 401(k) match), smart and knowledgeable colleagues who share info, varied technologies and projects

      Cons

      Google is bureaucratic and consensus-driven. If you have bad news, an unusual idea or background, you will be ignored or worse. Management is selected for technical skill and not even a little bit for leadership, organizational, or interpersonal skills. Promotion and evaluation procedures sap motivation, discourage collaboration, and waste time. Mountain View offices are severely overcrowded (bathrooms, parking, desk space, conference rooms).

      Very employee-focused

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The environment at Google is catered to the health, happiness, and wellness of the employees. Google spends many man hours asking what could make the employee's lives better, then implementing changes as necessary. At this point, they've got it down to a science.

      Cons

      The work can get boring for new people or engineers who don't intend to move up, in my opinion, but the opportunities for mobility in the company are accessible and well-defined.
