      Good company and perqs; work itself is often lacking in substance and satisfaction

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * World-class, brilliant coworkers * Excellent benefits and physical environment * Above-average total compensation compared to other local companies * Some groups do very cutting-edge work

      Cons

      * Much of the work is not interesting * Mid-level executive leadership is questionable * "Death march" schedules and random priority changes becoming more common * No career path from engineer to having substantive influence over what gets worked on * Too many overqualified people forced into work that's beneath their abilities

      4th Suicide in a Year Due to Toxic Culture

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Used to be prestigious, free food, benefits

      Cons

      Another employee jumped from MP6 in Sunnyvale marking Google's 4th suicide in a little over a year. Managers can lie through their teeth and gaslight employees to meet their quotas. RIP the poor soul.

      Great company, not so great department

      Technical sourcer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Google in general is incredible - great benefits and I do believe they build some of the best products out there.

      Cons

      Google's Recruiting organization, however, is in need of major changes. Too many redundant processes and a bad overall structure.
