- 5.0Good Wlb, Limited GrowthSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesFebruary 9, 2024Pros: WLB, good benefits, and coworkers are nice.Cons: Too many people for too limited project choices. Is the scope and growth limited?
- 2.0An authoritarian, Asian-style managementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesSeptember 22, 2022Pros: 1. Relatively good salary and company-wide benefits. Although not exceptional anymore. 2. Good job stability so far. 3. Good work/life balance.Cons: 1. Authoritarian low-level management. Management in Google is an Asian, Chinese-style. Your leads, not even managers, have complete power over you but no accountability. You are not working with them; you can only obey them. 2. No respect to engineering work. When I told my new manager that I prefer more engineering-type work, she promptly suggested I should leave the company. They need facilitators. 3. No diversity. Google is dominated by Chinese now. Our team of 13 hired 5 people, all Chinese. Now we have only 3 non-Chinese members out of 18 people. Probably, issue #1 stems from there.
