      Pros

      The line about working with systems at internet scale is absolutely true. You will work with more compute and network resources than anywhere else. Extremely talented and passionate colleagues.

      Cons

      Working on outside fun projects outside Google can be difficult due to the fact that the company's research interests are all over the map, causing things you do in your own time to potentially be subject to the company's copyright even if you never relied upon resources from work to accomplish them.

      Lot of Activity - What are we Doing?

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Perks (cafeterias, massage, wellness programs, commuter shuttles, bowling alley (!) etc. etc.) are amazing - Sharp people - Flexible work environment - Strong teamwork culture

      Cons

      - A lot of concurrent initiatives, but unsure of status/followthrough/reasons for these initiatives - A sense that we are over-hiring - Commitment to "dogfooding" is admirable--but sometimes it's OK to use a non-Google application to manage some of our work. - There is a tendency to promote people who need more seasoning. Managing people is not a perk of promotion, and not everyone can be a manager.
