Great work environment with extremely knowledgeable coworkers
Ad Moderation Coordinator (Former Employee), Mountain View, CA – May 13, 2013
Pros: free food, pool tables, bowling alley, incredible speakers
Cons: difficult to switch to a different role
Everyone I worked with was very intelligent and personable. It made me elevate my work habits so that I wasn't the lazy one sticking out of such a great bunch.

My manager was extremely laid-back and hands-off, but we had weekly meetings to make sure we were on the same page for various projects and daily responsibilities.

Hardest part of the job is – more... that it sometimes became a bit routine, but there are so many great benefits at the Google campus that it's very easy to recharge and come back to my desk, or even work outside or at home, to keep things fresh. – less

Master Control Operator (Current Employee), Mountain View, CA – May 12, 2013
Pros: you nget snacks suchs as chips cereal, water, soda
Cons: that they are very strict on talking and having a lil fun at work
typical office job you go in start your assignment get the job done as fast as you can with quailty
the management is very professional the co workers can be the best depending on what type of personality you like.I would say the hardest part of the job is trying to get your assignment done on time.

Well – May 17, 2013

This seems to be the case for all large tech companies that utilize contractors for any purpose other than temp-to-hire.

User Policy Specialist (Former Employee), Mountain View, CA – April 25, 2013
Google is definitely a great company to work at, but as it got larger some teams became a bit corporate and about politics.

Google Chromebook Specialist (Former Employee), McKinney, TX – April 8, 2013
Pros: great training, excellent supervision, great pay, fabulous all-around
Cons: was only a temporary job
I learned everything about the Google Chromebooks and educated customers prior to purchase. Sold a bunch...they would practically fly out the door when each shipment would arrive at store. Google and Marketstar are a great company to work for!

Horrible job security, not a good work environment
Scan Operator (Former Employee), Ann Arbor, MI – April 3, 2013
Pros: a steady 40 hours at a semi good pay
Cons: breaks your body down over time
I did not like this job at all, all the windows were taped up so we didn't receive any sun light during a work day. They fired clusters of people daily for simple mistakes. Most of the supervisors treated you horribly.

Research position
QA Engineer, iOS Applications (Former Employee), Mountain View, CA – March 25, 2013
Pros: services brought to the campus.
Cons: co-workers expect you to do with minimum technology allocations, and speak in android / linux format.
A typical day I do my job, report on doing my job, show someone how I do my job, then meet about a new job that needs doing. I go over my co-worker's work, then research some Google stuff. The hardest part is being less interested in making money, and more interested in providing superfluous value for information consumers.

Co-workers are so unhappy, – more... they speak of company goals--at lunch! – less

Professional atmosphere
Quality Control Operator (Former Employee), Mountain View, CA – March 12, 2013
Pros: own pace level, good time schedule
Cons: repetitive tasks constantly
This job was fairly satisfying. The culture and people made it a more workable environment. I learned working as a team here and aligning yourself among others will put you in a better situation. On a daily basis, your focus is on completing tasks constantly for 8 hours. I think that was the hardest part of seeing the same thing over and over. Beside – more... that, the job can easily be adapted to, – less
