      Google is a great place, but I've had a mixed experience - it's sometimes hard to be a happy person if everyone is great

      Pros

      Work with great people, awesome salary, benefits, the place is chock full of good people. There is a very advanced internal software infrastructure for you to learn about and use, that will be more capable in many ways than any place in the world. And Google has world leader work loads - everyone says that but its true for the big g.

      Cons

      Hard to deal with being average, if you were a super-achiever in your old job (most of the not-great people were weeded at interview time, as well as many other good people).

      This is a great company to work for, unless you work for my manager.

      Pros

      Google treats it's contractors fairly well, giving them paid holidays (after 520 hours of work), access to the free food and the gyms, along with other great perks. It also fosters a creative, collaborative atmosphere and strives to give employees ownership over tasks and room to learn and grow in their careers.

      Cons

      My team's management is incompetent and strives to build walls between employees and contractors. They suffer from a lack of transparency, a lack of understanding about the specific work that we do, and poor communication skills. The end result is that an entire group of dedicated contractors now harbors a distrust and a dislike for Google.
