Google Software Engineer III reviews

1. Everybody is very very career focused, they mostly dont have any other aspiration in life. So they spent a lot of hour in office. And it creates tremendous peer pressure. 2. 80% of the current employee are college hires in last 1/2/3 years. Also there are lots of food and facilities in office, so they spent days and nights in office, even weekends. 3. If you want a stable work pressure, with stable work life balance, and other interest than the job, this is not your place for sure. 4. If you have 5-10 years of experience, and want to join Google, as your career pick, it will be hard to sustain it, coz if you think you will spend stable work hours, and dont need promotion etc, you will be odd man out, and your feedbacks will be bad. 5. Middle management is not that efficient, they all hired/get promoted because they are all great developers, now managing different people, getting most out of them, etc are not their cup of tea.

Google is getting to be a quite large company. It's nearly impossible to know about everything that's going on in every organization. Furthermore, the love from the public has waned in recent years which can be a bit of a bummer.
