Pros

Google is an amazing opportunity. There are a lot of good people to work with, and a lot of opportunities to work on interesting and impactful problems.

Cons

Test engineers are not highly valued these days. Stick with software engineering, product management, or other more common positions.

Advice to Management

Figure out how to leverage the skills of your people. Reduce the churn. Cloud is not a "stable" place to work, even though it remains a good place to work.
