I have worked for Google for 2 year on 3 projects at 2 locations and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Project oversight is responsive to concerns, HR is helpful and good-natured, and there is always coffee in the many kitchens on premises.

At first glance of my new job all I saw were cubicles and computers. I was responsible for scanning and entering all new website data into the main database. I also would answer phones and consult customers of new options with google and also help resolve technical problems.

Green Screen.
I learned how to be professional.
I meet with different kinds of peopel,my co-workers were really supportive and friendly.
my work.

go to work at 6:00 am calibrate machine and then begin scanning pages of books. learned how to calibrate machines and work alone, hardest part of job was some books were really old and pages were brittle,

Great place, awesome place, would work here again. Oncall hours are long.

Single ambassador program which involved marketing and promoting Google products on campus several hours a month.

A typical day at work was exactly that, it was typical. I had a set amount of instructions to follow and a certain quota I was to meet everyday. The only thing that changed were the books we had to scan and the quality in which we got those books but all in all, Google was a great place to work.

I learned the importance in the quality of your work – more...  and the effectiveness of listening attentively. Google was the best work experience because it taught me the importance of being on-time and how tardiness/absent affected the company as a whole.

Management at Google was always fair and understanding. I wouldn't have work under anyone else. My supervisors were very efficient in the work they had to do and in overseeing that we were up to par.

My co-workers at Google were always fun and easy to get along with. Some of which I can now say I have formed personal relationships with.

The hardest part of the job was working with very fragile books in which it was either easy to tear, or hard to open.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the job in itself. I am a very social person and the job helped me be social without messing with or up my work at hand. – less

Didn't like this place. Everyone who worked here was on a two year contract. Co workers were cool

Google is a very enriching place to work at. My role needed me to interact with business management on a daily basis and the open door culture made it a very pleasant experience. Due to the stringent hiring procedure followed by Google, your co-workers are some of the best in the industry and every day is a learning process. My roles required me to – more...  travel a lot for campus presentations and recruitment and it gave me a chance to interact with different people and build my communication and people management skills. – less

As a Data Evaluator, i analyzed data for a project for Google Maps, this involved evaluating data by website, and by phone. I learnt how to use my own initiative,the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting all different nationalities and making new friends.

Managed the production floor and report daily production for management.

Google is an amazing place to work and its not a conventional company,

Google is a great place to work, interesting work, solid benefits, fun culture, it's like grad school all over again.

A good company to work for. They look after their employees well.

I was a employee of Milestone Technologies assigned to work for client,Google Inventory Department in Mt.View Ca.. I loved my job & the various duties I performed.. One of the best places to work at.

Amazing experience to help Google build out their Local Commerce space to compete against Groupon and other daily deal companies

Great company, great training, great facilities. The position was commission based so not ideal for long term sustainability.

I have been working for Google 4,5 years at this stage and still love working there. What makes Google fantastic are the people, who are some of the smartest and most interesting you will encounter. However, job satisfaction depends largely on the team that you are in and the management that you are under. Some teams, such as Sales or Acquisitions, – more...  have a great deal of mindless administrative work which can be very frustrating. Also work-life balance in Sales is poor, and the wages are not high enough to compensate for this. There is a lot of top-down initiative pushing and revenue pressure, and morale can be quite low as a result. Engineering/Product Management on the other hand seems to be the "sexiest jobs alive" at Google. These jobs are very hard to get however, and it helps to have a contact within the firm to be referred. – less
