      Great place to build your career

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A lot of mobility available - career shifts to sales, marketing, etc are possible - International travel and mobility highly possible - All the perks you hear about are true! Free food, great vacation packages, etc. - Many opportunities for advancing education, personal growth, etc. - Work life balance very good on most teams I've been a part of

      Cons

      - You can feel that it's a really big company now - difficult to advance & a lot of red tape - Most opportunities are in Mountain View HQ - a horrendous commute no matter how you swing it if you're living in SF -Many teams have an 'ivy league only' culture that can be stifling -Email and meeting culture can be real time sucks

      Great workplace, inspires you to come to work everyday

      Senior account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cutting edge technology, best-in-class colleagues, working with industry leaders. Great perks and benefits (probably the best), and best of all, the Googley culture. Being at the forefront of what is shaping the world's digital future.

      Cons

      Everybody is smart, so it does get very competitive. Promotions get unduly given to folks at times. There is a strong focus on operating efficiency which is good, but it does tend to clash with the free-flowing culture of the company.

      Amazing place to grow a people management career

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Google wants to create and hire the worlds best people managers, and to that end they have more leadership & management trainings, courses, frameworks, and resources than most business schools. And then there are the legendary benefits. Free food, possibly the best health insurance in the country, a great campus completely with gyms, pools, tons of green space, etc. It's a pleasure to be at work.

      Cons

      Because it's a big company, you have to retain your own "Start-up" drive and motivation. You could just drift along if you aren't proactive. But if you are proactive, wow can you get things done and go places. It just takes a little internal motivation.
