      Google: change is needed to avoid complacency & loss of competitive edge

      Strategic partner development manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      2 types of people that will find a great place to work: (1) recent college or B-school graduates looking for a first job where they can learn a lot, and (2) more senior corporate executives with many years of experience who aren't overly ambitious and are looking for a role where they can put life on auto-pilot and glide through their day-to-day activities.

      Cons

      There is no clear career progression, and senior management is arrogant.

      Pros

      Google is a very nice company to work for. The company is very transparent about its policies and directions, and keeps every one up-to-date of latest development. People have strong ownership of things they do. And I feel that compensation is really good. The bonus is really generous (about 30% of your salary), and the benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      Benefits are excellent, but I think Microsoft's medical coverage is better, and Microsoft matches charitable donation up to 12,000 per year but Google only matches up to 3,000.

      Beyond the fantasy, Google is still corporate.

      Pros

      They definitely encourage a good work life balance. When dealing with other areas of life, they ensure that employees are given enough time to take care of everything. The perks are great as well - free food, snacks, and drinks, author talks, artists who perform, game areas - these are all things that relieve stress and enable employees to focus better and be more productive.

      Cons

      Google is still a corporation, and there are some managers who don't fit well within the culture. Since they play down titles, and the organizational structure is flat, micro managers kill morale.
