      Pros

      It's really good health insurance

      Cons

      It's not as fun as it used to be. Folks at smaller offices and remotes frequently get shafted.

      Good pay and benefits, bad culture

      Pros

      Free food, good benefits, and brand name to carry your career should you leave.

      Cons

      Management in my specific practice (consumer hardware) does not align with each other and WLB is non-existent. Your manager would tell you to do ABC, and their manager- your program manager - asks you why you made changes to a deliverable and to revert it to XYZ. The comical part is where they ping each other "for visibility" but don't bother reading previous comments on why changes were made by each other. This would extend deadlines and impact your performance goals despite being out of your control. I'd advise staying away from supply chain at Google, very messy.

      Not like it used to be

      Pros

      All of the famous perks: food, snacks, gym, masseuse, nap pods, cool offices Even more than all that: work with some of the absolute best people out there Great internal mobility

      Cons

      The culture of transparency has definitely shifted over the last few years. Even before the layoffs, it was starting to feel like "just another big company" in a way it hadn't before. The hybrid schedule isn't as flexible as leadership seems to think it is.
