      Great Company, but quixotic

      Pros

      Gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Tons of opportunities to do neat stuff. Free food is totally amazing. Brilliant coworkers and interesting projects.

      Cons

      Too much middle management. Middle management is also not necessarily qualified to manage technical groups. There's immense pressure to be "innovative" and do impactful things, but there's no willingness to take risks.

      Pros

      Apart from great perks, food selections and artsy features, the team I worked with was like a second family.

      Cons

      No transparency at all no matter what Google preaches. "Don't be evil" ethos are violated every day by favoritism and popularity votes. Abilities to grow ideas!? What ideas?? They are shut down by managers who are bosses and not real leaders. Security is an important department which protects life and property but with no honesty or integrity, with that being a big issue any core value is gone. The Review rating system is unfair and dictated by numbers no matter how much of a great worker you are. Bias is a big issue. Unless your a software engineer or a manager life at Google is great and you'll never get to see the toxic environment lower level departments go through. Can unexpectedly be sick for more than two days or you are issued a write up and tanked on your review.
