Pros

Great employee benefits:

  • Free gym membership at Moffett Towers
  • Free lunch and snacks (every day)
  • Employee outings
  • Beer on tap
  • Commuter benefits
Cons

Below average salary and stock options.

No room for growth or promotions.

Frequent re-orgs.

Technical managers don't know programming.

Felt like a rat race.

Complaints may result in retaliation.

Too many senior engineers all talk with zero capability.

Unrealistic employee performance goals.

All office pictures on their career website have models!!

Advice to Management

Cut down on the free stuff and pay people decently. Stop hiring models in office recruitment pictures. It is dishonest.
