      • Free food • Free food • Free food • Free food • Free food

      Cons

      • Leadership is all over the place, poor decision making. • It takes forever to get anything launched due to the review process or lack there of. • Worst management I've encountered in my entire career. • Lack of mentorship. • Career growth is difficult if you come into the company above L4. • Not what people think working at Google is like. It's not "fun". • Since 2016 the place has felt way more corporate and they've downsized a lot of the perks like the holiday gift and company parties.

      Pros

      interesting work pay, perks cool technology exciting people, projects, always learning

      Cons

      Management should put more effort into behaving properly (only 1 out of 6 managers I had was an actual normal person, the rest were: vulgar sexist, work thief, politicking instead of working, threats on my life if i went to HR and so on). Those managers only got a slap on the hand and are still employed there. I got PTSD and burnouts. As a woman, you will never thrive, you will be paid at least 10% less than your male counterparts and you will get promoted less often than males, despite hard work and equal accomplishments or more. HR is there to drive the victim to the leave, not help it.

      Pros

      If you want to become a slave.

      Cons

      Ageist. Good luck if you are 50yrs old as you won’t turn 51 whilst still employed.
