Can be great. Can suck

SRE • Current Employee

Mountain View, California, United States

February 9, 2015

Pros: Google is still overall a good place to work. It is not the great place to work it once was, but it's not the worst by any means. As it grows, it has lots of big company BS and politics that come with that. If you think Google will make everything you hate about working in corporate America better, you will be very disappointed.

Cons: It all depends on your immediate team and manager. Google is so big now that anything you say about them is not true of a different area, good or bad. Google wants everyone to live in Mountain View or New York with a total disregard for their ability to afford to live there.
