Pros: Relaxed and interesting. Something impactful that is seen by so many.

Cons: Sometimes too slow and needs more pace.

Pros: Great environment and benefits, cool project, and a nice location.

Cons: At least in my team, we had to spend lots of time on unit tests.

Pros: There is some cool stuff at Google such as MicroKitchens, dogfood, Google exclusive technologies, massages, barbershops, fun rooms, etc. There is a lot of incentive to keep you in the office such as free food, snacks, massages, barbershops, etc. Just the right amount of challenging but not stressful work for an internship (varies). Definitely promotes diversity and intern groups. A work environment that can enable you to ask questions without criticism online. There are features at work that make software engineering at Google easier. Quiet environment. Memegen, where the brave and the bold talk about the company or make jokes without offending anyone. Great place for expanding your career. There are so many resources for you to grow.

Cons: - There are a lot of fake smiles, laughs, and giggles. This is the worst I've seen in any company, maybe because I worked in the government. - Google is too strict on attempting to please everyone. Memegen has gotten worse because of this. Basically, make memes about things, other companies, or Sundar. - Some common banned memes, like the distracted boyfriend looking back meme, have the most absurd reasonings. - Google is shutting down criticism of the company, removing dislike buttons or any visible counters. - There is a great division between Googlers and XWF (extended workforce). XWF are treated as if they are guests. The trainings emphasize this. - Google is strongly against curiosity of any kind. If you are curious about what another team is doing or how a performance tool works, no one knows what another team is doing unless it's a "business need". - Google has been on a negative trend of removing employee benefits but improving benefits to the office. - Google is dead serious about absolute obedience. It's a few months away from a pure dystopia with the help of AI. It is a perfect fearful environment to make sure you only do your work. - Google upper management is so inhumane. Every company-wide meeting is always a negative one. - You are working yourself out of a job. - Google does have a lot of diversity & inclusion. But the diversity and inclusion backfires with culture crashing and its complaints coming from it. - Google is trying to shut down leaks but at a severe documented cost of horrible cross-team cohesion. - There is a severe lack of trust of upper management. - There are forceful recruitment strategies for Internships: they require you to sign the dot now or never. This is not helpful for students trying to figure out their life. - Google is being severely unethical with AI and its employees. It's fine because it's a 'business need'.
