Google Director, Software Engineering reviews

Culture Values as a company

-) The people (coworkers are smart & nice). -) The growth (you willl get invaluable development feedback from 360 degree reviews, that, if you are able to internalize and incorporate the feedback, will propel your career forward) -) Variety. So many groups in one place, that when you're ready for your next career exploration, it will be easy and smooth. Google wants to be the last place you'll ever work. -) Scale. If you want to have lots of users, in some cases billions, Google is a lot of fun and you are helping many people who use your product directly or indirectly. -) Free food and stocked "micro-kitchens" with snacks. And, the shuttles (okay, in 2020-21 this isn't a factor, but it will be when we all go back.) Help the environment and make friends with neighbors, while riding a climate controlled bus with leather seats and friendly bus drivers, to work & back. If you can read in cars, you also will probably be able to get all your email done on the way to and from work, and the day is just about getting real work done.
