Articles about disgruntled employees are amusing
Pros
Employees are able to speak their minds and stand up fo what they believe in. That is why you see walk-outs and hear about things that employees want to improve. Google executives listen and employees are empowered to speak their minds without fear of retribution. Life at Google is far better than almost any company and just about every employee comes to work and leaves work happy. All the news articles looking to find something wrong with working at Google are misguided. The writers don't understand that voicing a desire for equality, inclusion, and diversity are cornerstones of the Google culture. It doesn't mean employees are unhappy. It means they are good people fighting for continuous improvement in these areas even if Google is already excelling in these areas. People will always ask Google to do even more good for the world and their employees because they know Google will take action. It's awesome.
Cons
Sometimes I feel too full from eating gourmet food all day long. Everyone is so accomplished, productive, and happy that it can make you feel insecure.
