Great place to work
I worked only as a Janitor, and yet, the environment was so nice! I got free breakfast and lunch, snacks, breaks, and everyone was super kind.
Spent 8 hours a day working. Had great co-workers and was able to use my Spanish. Everything was kept clean already, so it made our job even easier/

Google Cloud is not Google
I was recruited to come to Google Cloud and was sold on the Google culture. Let me be clear: Google Cloud is NOT Google. It's likely closer to Oracle or SAP. Leadership is constantly changing, which also means the direction/priorities are also always changing.
Google Needs Tools
Google still needs to hire humans to get things done.
The company is a cult of amateurs who move from position to position within the company, taking their "experience" to start fresh and learn new positions. Every new arrival Is so smart, because they went to college and are now "Googlers" that they know how to fix everything and make it better, even if they don't know what a job or project actually entails.
Senior management is very stable and seems to relish or tolerate this chaos as some sort of professional development or as a way to churn out the undesirables.
The truth is that Google is an empty shell, supported by massive revenue from AdSense, its only valuable and really first product. The rest seems to be a journey to somewhere, but without "Rich Uncle AdSense" nothing else would be possible.
If you are lucky enough to land a good paying job here (there are some), do your work, keep your opinions to yourself and nod you head when they all say they are liberals, woke, Marxist, etc. They claim to be free thinkers, as long as you agree with them 100%.
This perspective applies to sales, marketing and doesn;t reflect on R&D, product development or anything that would be considered a STEM field, etc.

Liked it but it was too big
Loved the project I was working on but it was hard to advance, I ended up having a hard time moving up unless I would relocate and I wasn't willing to do that at the time. Loved the people so much though, very inspiring environment,
Excellent Company
One of the best technology firms in the industry. I highly recommend working there. Life / Work balance is very important to Google and the campus is amazing with innovative ideas and creativity. I loved working with people driven by new ideas and technologies.
Highly Political
Google has a lot of perks and compensation is good. Environment is cult like. No diversity and inclusion. They talk about it but dont know how to deliver. The company hires a bunch of college grads and they grow up at google with no other experience. They are all worried about their perf and miss focusing on customer need or efficiency. If you are a college grad this is a good place to go. If you are a experienced professional be prepared for a challenge
Great employees
The people are all so brilliant - it is like going from being a big fish in a small pond to a guppy in an ocean of talent. Culture has changed over the past two years, true, but I still recommend it. It is hard, you have to be very proactive to succeed.
Great Place to work if you can deal with the downsides
Coworkers are great and Most Managers are Amazing mine just happens to be bad. Competitive sales for commission so there is good money to be made if you can handle the competition. Great training and Knowledge imprinting.
Incredible place to work in Austin
Truly an incredible place to work! People are Googley, and benefits are unmatched. I feel challenged and appreciated by leadership. I get fulfillment from my daily tasks and making our customers successful. Highly recommend working here and finding a home at Google!
