Pros

Worked on contract, Perks equal just like full time employee. Food, fun, work, Friday parties and so many events along with work

Cons

Nothing much cons about this place. Only reason i've left this is because my contract was ended. Don't even to think about converting to full time as it never gonna happen.

Pros

Most people are really nice and being part of Google adds a lot: amazing food everyday, massage at the office, exposition to a lot of cool Alphabet projects, gym onsite and all the Google known perks.

Cons

Management / senior management is really bad. I reported to 3 different people and none of them was someone who would inspire me, who I could learn with or would take risks to make things happen. Our directors enforce a culture of competition for the lower levels that is toxic and it's an extremely political company. It feels a little bit like the more energetic people left or are trying to leave and those who stayed are the comfortable people who prefer free food to a meaningful position.
