      Fun place to work, smart people, too many meetings

      Mba intern

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are smart and very friendly, the perks are unbeatable, the pay is fair for corporate world, and there are always new interesting things going on.

      Cons

      Way too many meetings (can fill half of your daily calendar), sometimes poor internal information management (getting info on an earlier project can only be done by talking to someone who may be gone for weeks, rather than any centralized info mgmt center).

      Impact few others can match!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Impact, impact, impact! Imagine what 'translate' alone can do for humanity - Does an amazing job of recruiting capable, motivated, and genuinely nice people (as painful as the process is) which results in a strong culture, the backbone of great companies - Strong operating principles and values

      Cons

      - Controlled chaos is sometimes not controlled - No meaningful people management or development (looks like things are changing now) - Functions outside of eng and prod have considerably less influence

      Google Luster Has Faded

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Google has amazing scale for most of their operations, both in the technical and non-technical domains. There are opportunities to reach millions of people all over the world.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the culture of the company has changed as the company has grown and it's obviously much harder for any given individual to make a significant impact. Furthermore, a lot of product decisions and strategies are still tightly controlled from the top, which is no longer scalable with an engineering force of more than 10,000. This leads to a large number of engineers working leisurely on products not essential to the core company strategy.
