Software Engineer II • Current Employee

Berkeley, California, United States

Pros: The atmosphere is very helpful and kind! I remember I was a Software Intern starting out in this new company. From day one, even the work was challenging, but it soon paid off (literally)! Google also pays well over average amounts and they also have perks like gyms and never-ending food!

Cons: Well, I can't say much, but when you start out, it may be very nerve-racking. But with the help you get, you can feel right in the community!
