      Great benefits, bad work-life balance

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits as an Alphabet company. But not as many company-wide days off as Google in the pandemic. Smart and humble coworkers to work with Interesting work

      Cons

      Bad work life balance. So many people I know work long hours, not sure which teams really have good work-life balance as written in other reviews. It’s hard to get promotion (probably even harder than Google), and no clear career growth path in some teams. Managers are hit or miss, probably the influence from the Google culture of promoting good IC’s, who are not necessarily good people managers. Start up, so almost no equity liquidity, translating into overall low cash flow in the expensive Bay Area. But of course, for people who can wait longer time, you might be paid off.

      Great WLB and culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Google culture is rather nice. Able to work as many hours as necessary to get the job done (which often means less than 40). Remote onboarding process is handled effectively.

      Cons

      Nothing bad to say yet, though it seems some people do seem to have a bad WLB (not sure if voluntary), typically with team leads/managers.
