Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of dogs, food, dogs, coffee, snacks, booze, and dogs. The dogs are cute; the other amenities are up to par. Some superb people and no duds. Excellent spirit of co-operation. Market opportunity is massive and company is well positioned to take advantage of it.
Cons
Not everyone likes being barked at (by dogs, I mean). Hiring good people in Mountain View is very hard. Result: adding offices around the world, in countries whose accents make for very different kinds of English. It is also going to be tough to maintain corporate culture. Code base (the part I saw) needs more tests and better documentation. To be fair, management is well aware of the need for tests. As an engineer, I had few opportunities to experiment.
