Pros

Lots of impact. Global products with billions of users built by smart, motivated people. Comp and benefits are solid.

Cons

Perpetually understaffed, huge bloat of red tape, and a toxic work culture that leaves people working all hours. Recent layoffs have left people at all levels afraid to say no, making everything worse.

Advice to Management

Consider the long-term effects of your choices. Gone are the days of people joining Google and staying for decades.
