Google Employer Reviews

The everyday life at Google seems peaceful enough. There are times when things get hectic especially when a StreetView car has an issue. The support of the whole team is fantastic and the drivers were great.

40 hour work week. 8 hours in front of a computer. Typeset and format e-books. That's about all there is to it. day in, day out.

As an employee, you really feel like the company shares wealth among all their employees. The work you do here is high impact and they're very open to letting you figure out new ways to do things.

Google is surrounded by intelligent talented people who can be great fun to work with. With so many perks and great campus, its hard to feel stressed and bored at work.

I am a freelance engineer there, so my opportunities are not as consistent as I might like them to be. I've been told that my work is appreciated and is respected. The people I work with are laid back, yet professional when it comes time to get the job done. I enjoy those managing the productions because they allow you to handle your position. Trust – more... is key to me and I feel it is the key to any success a business achieves. – less

Great internship experience. Learned a lot in terms of applying statistics to real world problems that can scale to humongous dimensions.

I was working for a company called V.S. Advertising selling DirecTV. The parent company, Smart Circle, signed a contract with Google to do a test market for a new product Google wanted to unveil called Google HotPot.

Out of all the reps nationwide I was one of 3 that was chosen to work for Google.

The market was originally supposed to be 3 weeks long, – more... and then turned into a 2 month test. The sales/marketing team I was a part of met and surpassed out goals, but it seemed the accounting gurus at Google decided the program wasn't financially feasible.

Google was an amazing company to work for, and relied on the reps to design and implement our end of the campaign. We were given our goals and a deadline and told to get it done. There was little to no guidance from above, as it was the first time Google has ever done a face to face marketing campaign. – less

Google was an amazing place to work. The atmosphere and friendliness of everyone there far exceeded any place I've ever worked at. This was definitely an experience I would recommend.

I loved this job and too bad it was only a one year contract. Typically a daily routine would be testing memory from the servers that google utilizes from all it's data centers globally. A few times a week we would brain storm over other IT related subjects and on Fridays we would go to lunch together and it felt more like a family atmosphere. I can – more... honestly say I learned more about IT than in my 10 years working/school combined. Management was fair and respectable. Any time you needed personal time or was sick they would not hesitate to help out. Co workers were fun to work with and always there to assist in any issues I had or questions. The hardest part of the job was the fast paced environment. We would continually receive shipments daily and had to inventory, scan and shelve the memory so if you ran a little behind it would be a challenge to catch up. But the overall job experience was great. It had all the perks that I heard about on the news, web, etc. – less

I sourced and placed technical candidates in a metrics demanding environment.

Great benefits, great work culture, free commute transportation, friendly people!

All depends on the role and the team. You can be in an environment where things are always exciting and you are taking on new challenges, but if you're in a support role, things can get tedious and you may not learn as much. Skills can become very specialized and not applicable to other jobs.

Looks great on resume!
Excellent training.
Tough to get in the door.

A typical work day would include the set-up and inspection of technical data capturing equipment. The nature of the job required continuous attention to detail and a high level of situational awareness. The independent nature of the working environment required an extraordinary level of trust and communication with management. The hardest part of the – more... job was also the most rewarding part. This included setting personal goals which would successfully translate into meeting goals of the entire project. The most enjoyable part of the project required the highest level of personal restraint and responsibility. This was being able to effectively communicate the goals of the project without divulging sensitive details. – less

Many opportunities to learn, competitive work environment.

I worked on a pilot program with Google that eventually launched and became a Kindle.

Google was a great place to work. They made you feel important. They valued all of their employees and it showed.

people were great, very unorganized, pay was decent, was contract position but did not renew after 2 years for some unknown reason.
