- 5.0Great people, work, and environmentSoftware Engineering Intern • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesSeptember 4, 2014Pros: The company is extremely transparent internally. It supports lifelong learning, and if there is something you want to learn, there is likely a class available on the topic. You work with some of the smartest people around. The work environment is great, as are the food, fitness centers, and other added benefits.Cons: If you end up on a project you aren't all that interested in, or a team you don't quite mesh with, you may not enjoy your work as much as you could if you were placed on another team or project. Though it seems fairly painless to switch teams if you aren't enjoying what you do anymore.
