Great pay, nice people, a little boring
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
May 9, 2021
Pros: Management is nice. There are very few bad apples, and most people who work there are pretty smart. The engineering culture is solid. You can move around fairly easily. Promotion (at least at the basic levels) is fair.
Cons: The job is a little boring. A lot of what made it famous early on -- 20% time, for instance, and real transparency from leadership, to name two such things -- have withered away as the company has grown to its current global status. It's a big company with a lot of bureaucracy. There's a lot of red tape and approvals to go through nowadays. No one at Google today is creating the next Gmail in their free time.
