Google is a sea of information and many amazing people to work with across teams.

It offers opportunities that encourage us to work with different teams on projects and innovate.

The learning curve at Google was so steep, for it blessed me with an immense opportunity to explore the uncharted territories in the deployed domain. I was part of the product management team of YouTube doing analytics and arriving at solutions to improve the user experience and finding ways to increase user engagement effortlessly by seamless integration – more... of YouTube with the Google ecosystem. The challenging part of the job was working on the overhaul of the user interface and the whole user engagement of the product and its phased roll out in December'11 and January'12. The management at Google believes in fostering innovation and creating the industry leading products to make life easier, and this paves a way to a hierarchy that encourages the individual's efforts rather than stifling them. The Google experience enables you to develop an attitude towards learning that goes a long way to enhance your career goals. – less

Google is a amazing first job, you are able to learn a ton of information and work alongside a lot of smart people.

I was fortunate to have worked at Google for seven years, in a variety of sales and operations roles. I loved getting to work on cutting edge global products, collaborating with brilliant people, and enjoying really generous benefits and perks. The hardest part about working at Google, particularly in my latter years, was trying to get things done in – more... such a large company. – less

These include dinners, happy hours, social outings, hotel reservations etc. On a day-to-day basis, I work with the building Enterprise executive briefing coordinator to plan for customer needs throughout the year. Lastly, – more... I organize and put together 'Swag' gifts for Enterprise Customers.

The most enjoyable part of my job is working with others and meeting new people from across the world! There is never a dull moment here. – less

Technology is advance but my job role is limited. Very flexible hours. Food is great. Love to be full time but I am contractor so this had to come to an end.

This was a five month contract position. My day started at 6am and was working till 9pm. I learned google mail, learned to use the internal google applications. From managing calendars, expenses, planning meeting, booking conference rooms was all done on google apps, which was completely different from using ms outlook, ms office products. There was – more... a challenging part of the job at first and that was learning the google product, since I never received an administrative assistant training and orientation in the beginning as everyone does, I didn't know what the expectations were but I held my own and learned very quickly in the first 3 weeks. The most enjoyable part of working at google was planning Thursday's social event every week. I met some really smart and nice people at google. – less

Google is a great place to work. Must be able to schedule a high volume of interviews and work past normal work hours. This position requires ATD skills, along with being able to contribute ideas to your broader team. Multitasking is definitely a skill to be developed within this position.

Very good place to work, with knowledgeable people, good ideas, and a flexible management structure. Interesting projects covering a broad range of areas.

I really Enjoyed working here. I thought Google provided an awesome work environment and let us know that they appreciated our hard work.

great company to work for as an Engineer....................................

Great place filled with kind, intelligent, and brilliant minds of all extremes and variations.

A highly energetic, open place that values goodness over greed.

A workplace where people are a passion; work is appreciated; life is lived in balance and harmony.

In a typical week I would be working on a minimum of three projects on behalf of Google. I learned that I have a wealth of experience that may not translate well on paper, but that has prepared me to face any challenge or obstacle I may encounter.

Google is a great place to work! You work with smart people all day long and each department is willing to bend over backwards for each other for the common goal of doing whatever is best for the company.
