Good Pay, Lackluster Ambition
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
December 4, 2019
Pros: Pay is good, has great benefits. Would recommend Software Engineering/Development/PM at Google if you want a nice, comfy job with perks and good pay.
Cons: People not particularly ambitious or passionate, as if their life goal was to get into Google and there isn't much more to them than that. There's no long-term dream to accomplish anything meaningful.
Would *not* recommend Software Eng/PM at Google if you want to do something fulfilling that matters, unless your passion is specifically about building certain software tools. Realize that this will more often than not impact a small group of people, and not in a particularly meaningful way.
