Great technology, but many cluttered projects
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
January 9, 2019
Pros: - Google has accumulated tons of good technology, and many are still on top of the industry.
- Great tools for daily work.
- Encourages diversity.
Cons: Not every project is created equal; you need some luck to like your daily work.
Big tech debt (yes, even at Google).
People are *smart* enough to always move to projects where they can get promoted quickly, so that means there are also teams that are not popular.
