Great job
One of the best contracts I've ever had. By far one of the most fun years of my life working for Google. I would definitely recommend working there if possible and finishing your career there.
Great learning expereience and helped my grow career wise
I was hired through a recruiting company so my experience is through a contracters experience. It is hard to transfer over as FTE. But i do say now that I have been gone for over a year. Google has taught me alot and ive gained soo much knowledge that I dont think I would have learned anywhere else. They are well advanced in framework and processes compared to other companies and It makes sense why they are one of the top companies in the world.
Intellignet Co-Workers
Intelligent Co-Workers and supportive teams, but limited upward mobility after a time at the company. Great place to learn a core set of digital skills and be on the forefront of technology
Google/Allied Universal
I do not work for Google, I work for Allied Universal. Google is Allied's client. Google chose security companies that they want to work in their building. Allied Universal was selected by Google. Allied Universal hires the security officers to work in the Google building.
Great but intense
Great work environment, but hard to advance. Lots of competition and people get stuck all at the same level. Also work/life balance can be difficult with the expectations.
Toxic Start Up
Google Express was a startup - one month after relocating for my dream job, I was told that Google Express might be enduring layoffs. The next year was the worst layoff experience of my professional career. All of my resentment stems from the layoff of Google Express and the staffing agency that they hired and not of Google itself.
Zero Life Balance
Cloud Solutions Architect / Technical Program Manager (Current Employee) – Mountain View, CA – November 19, 2019
Expect to work 80 - 90 hours a week if you want a decent perf. Management changes frequently and not always in a good way. Job assignments are vague and perf is torture.
Great place to work with smart helpful people
- Everyone is super smart and super helpful
- Work is ambiguous and it's more of you deciding what you want to work on than being handed tasks
- Managers really work towards enabling your career growth and providing the right guidance/feedback/support
- There are a lot of opportunities to move around in different teams and functions

Best job EVER
I couldn't have a better opinion of Google X as everyone was beyond helpful and extremely accommodating. It was an absolute honor to have worked with some of the brightest minds in creating radical new technologies to solve some of the worlds hardest problems.
stressful and very strict on how their customer satisfaction policy
Can be stress free if you are used to working at call centers, and it would be better to work full time because otherwise all the policies are slightly stricter on you for be there only part time since you wont be there as long as everyone else and will get alot less calls overall than those who are full time. You have to know what you are doing because just one call can make it or break in terms of your customer satisfaction score.
Love it
I do search terms for google as l see what is easiest to find for people looking for a career with a top100 company culture is great. Google have a lot of services and I find them to be really good.
Good company to work.
Positive environment Friendly team and approachable Managers and Leads Learning opportunities if you are sincere and committed, hard work pays off. Also good for learning new things.
Backend Java Engineer
I am dedicated individual and team player who enjoys working as backend developer. Always keen to learn new lessons and stay current on tech stack. I would like if the workplace culture is fun to be at work.
Lots of Perks on campus. Friendly working environment.
I enjoyed the opportunity to work with Adword & Biz Dev. professionals at Google. I was exposed to Ad Buyers of $200,000+ per month of Ad spend. A great place to start your career.
Productive and fun work place with a ping pong table
Laid back environment but plenty of opportunity to grow -- you're constantly surrounded by bright individuals. Company culture is generally inclusive, felt extremely comfortable working there.
Great money, solid tech, Stalinist culture
The pay was great--and even better when the pager bonus (which was not mentioned in the offer) is counted.
The tech is, as it must be, groundbreaking. There are more problems with tech debt than might be expected, but resources tend to be thrown at problems before things go critical. Do note: on average, the engineers there are merely above average. Lots of greatness there, but also a lot of embarrassing code.
Their promotion of tech leaders to management has a siginficant drawback, in that these two skills are extremely different. First-level managers especially are very random in their skill.
But beware: Google is even more aggressively liberal internally than externally. Conservatives keep their heads down, and being outed can lead to unbearable conditions.

Fun place to Work
Laid back creative environment. Inclusive diverse environment worked with many talented individuals. Lots of projects and communication globally.
