Great Perks, Bureaucratic Grind
Great Perks, Bureaucratic Grind
Offices are great, and you get to work remotely while visiting other places (for a short time).
Compensation is strong, especially after stock refreshes and bonus.
Many opportunities for internal mobility.
It is now a very large company, and the fun culture has been diluted a bit with corporate defensiveness. The performance review and promo process is very time-consuming and stressful. It all depends on the culture of the team and organization; the experience at Google varies a lot.

I got referred internally. The recruiter screen was light, mostly asking 'Why Google?' and walking through my current EM role (team size, day-to-day, projects). Then, a technical phone screen with algo questions in CoderPad. One was to design a graph

I applied twice. Each time, the posted offer was for a remote B2B position. Each time, it turned out later that it was a 100% on-site regular contract. A waste of time.
