Google Sr. Technical Program Manager reviews

Sundar leadership is all knee jerk with no one feeling safe in their jobs. Grad promo system is terrible, people that are amazing can't even get close to promotion and leave for L+1 , L+2 roles all the time. For those that dare not to live in the PST time zone expect to be on calls till 7pm at least 4 nights a week

Engineering development is more of a popularity contest. There is very little coherent product management, so the Engineering leads who can make the best product pitch move forward, until they get bored and lose headcount, then Google cancels the product. Software platforms aren't standardized, every team can re-invent the wheel. There is very little interoperability between products, so you can't even leverage what other people have built. Let's add to that rampant "brogrammer" culture, and horrible mistreatment of women. As a woman, you have to have a thick skin to get by, but if you're too brusque and forget to be warm and nurturing you'll be accused of "being a btich" or "not a team player" or "difficult to work with."
