- 3.0Great place, but not for everyoneSite Reliability Engineer • Former EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesJanuary 19, 2017Pros: It's Google. Everybody knows the pros. They're all true: free food, free full-service coffee bars, on-site massage, hair polishing, whatever. Lots of really, really big systems to work on. You get to learn about some really cool stuff before the rest of the world.Cons: The work environment can be very stressful. Open-office floor plans dominate. They set high-pressure expectations intentionally, to make people strive harder. If you have an anxiety disorder, this is *terrible*, and you will not thrive here. Attempting any sort of disability accommodations process will become an N-way telephone game from hell.
