There is no micromanagement from my manager and I learned a lot from my colleagues. The work-life balance and free food here are good. There are many career growth opportunities and learning opportunities internally. And there are many events for holiday celebrations.

Pros

Free lunch, Learning opportunities, Culture, management

Cons

Layoffs

Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - January 22, 2023

It was fun working here while it lasted, untl I got laid off last Friday with zero notice. Lot of great perks and advancement opportunities here, but the culture is certainly up or out.

Great company

Software Engineer (Current Employee) - New York, NY - January 9, 2023

Great people, systems, and benefits. Respect for work-life balance. Interesting and challenging work. Google succeeds by not taking short cuts, and by investing in its own people and systems.

Great team members but limited technical growth

Software Engineer (Current Employee) - Sunnyvale, CA - December 27, 2022

A good place to work but not great. GRAD introduces some mess but it's needed to have a good quality of engineers otherwise too many coasters.Some engeineers are excellent and smart while some are lazy and coasting.The management depends on teams and mine is not lucky too much.

Pros

great WLB

Cons

Low comp, limited career growth
