      It's getting crowded

      Senior software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great perks. Company really values its employees. Good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Crowded. Most projects are not very interesting. Interesting projects have many people jumping on them and have usually been done to death.

      6 years and still going!

      Senior program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remember in college when you worked in group projects and there was inevitability always 1-2 freeloaders you resented? Those guys don't come to Google :) Coworkers are all extremely motivated and hard working. You almost never find that colleagues aren't pulling their weight, when given the right direction.

      Cons

      Things move very quickly, in order to compete with the Silicon Valley startups out there. Sometimes, we hurt our employees in order to achieve customer and company goals. Not necessarily a bad thing for the customer, but it definitely has an effect on team morale and energy levels.

      Great place, but LONG commute

      Financial analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Awesome people - can not say this enough! - Cool projects to work on

      Cons

      - Recent management changes (Ruth, Sundar) are definitely changing the company culture. Its not entirely bad changes, just different than before. - Long commute from San Francisco with minimal flexibility. Company is losing good employees as they move their offices further south to Sunnyvale or San Jose. Longer commutes on buses are taking major tolls on employees health (back pain, tech neck). Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and Massage Therapists are basically acting as a triage department for these issues. - Can be hard to switch between job "ladders" if you don't love your current field
