Pros

This position was highly flexible, at least during the pandemic. It is still remote so not sure how different it'll be in person. As long as you work 40 hours a week, get your output expectations met, and work within a semi-normal range of hours (starting anywhere from around 6am to ending any time around 8pm), you can work whatever hours you want. If you wanted to take a Friday off, you can work 2 extra hours Monday through Thursday to make up for lost time, still work a 40 hour week, and still take a day off. Coworkers are all super chill, again as long as you're getting your work done there's no micro managing and everyone is super responsive when you need help. There have been ample opportunities for raises, including yearly rate increases for all employees. As a Google contractor/vendor, you are able to join the Alphabet Union.

Cons

You are NOT a Google employee. They stress that from day one. You are a Vaco employee who contracts with Google. While Vaco benefits are good, they aren't the insanely great benefits that higher level Google employees get. Your first week or two will be bumpy if remote, as they don't send out your equipment until your first day so your first week isn't spent working. They don't communicate this well, but you WILL be paid for your time.
