Pros: Good morning. I am saying that

Cons: Stress, hard, bad, non-commercial.

Pros: The engineering tools are truly amazing! You don't know scale until you know Google scale. IMO, AI and the internal development tools have greatly improved the experience of coding at Google. There are still some truly smart people there, and you can have a technical or whimsical conversation with almost anyone. Even though the perks have disappeared, most of the perks and opportunities are still good. There is definitely name recognition.

Cons: It feels like more of a conventional company than when I started. There is constant fear of layoffs, and while most people are great, there are some toxic engineers. There is a fair amount of pressure, but the bureaucracy is pretty intense to keep you from moving fast. It is strongly hierarchical, and current leaders lack vision and cater to the shareholders. The competition against similar companies is very stiff, so there is a lot of pressure. It feels like the engineers are fighting for their jobs, and Google is fighting for its life.

Pros: Good pay and good people.

Cons: High-intensity workload, but it's worth it.
