Mmm. Tasty desserts

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Mountain View, California, United States

Pros: Free food and a good variety, perks, fun and competent teammates. The bonus plan is pretty good. They have a lot of social events, but unlike some other reviewers, I never felt like I was forced to go to them, and I don't think I get labeled as 'ungoogley' because of it. I feel pretty free to work on what I want to work on, and I don't feel over-managed.

Cons: I spend quite a bit of time at work, but really, this is mostly because I like what I'm working on, and they have better snacks there than I do at home. It's almost insidious.
