Google Work Experiences

Fun, challenging projects and a great work environment

Software Engineering Intern • Former Employee

Pros: Great company culture. Valued even as an intern. Fun, challenging projects, and you learn a ton. You will always be learning something in this company. Very smart and friendly environment. As an intern, career opportunities in the sense of converting to full-time are a much smoother process than applying for full-time without coming from an internship. The process is still selective but considerably nicer.

Cons: - Experience is dependent on teams. I unfortunately had a team with less energy and drive. - Depending on the breadth of the project and whether you need to work with remote teams, it can really feel like a clunky, large company.
