Pros

Massive scale. I build user interface tools and libraries for the 50+ iOS teams at Google.

Exciting creative work across a variety of products. On any given week, I'll consult with at least three or four different product teams.

Small teams having massive impacts. Many of our iOS teams have fewer than 5 engineers.

Cons
  • It's a big company, and every team at Google has its good and bad sides.
  • Open source for iOS at Google is still just getting started, though things are improving substantially!
Advice to Management

More focus on mobile hiring strategies. Google has a lot of incredible iOS opportunities, and we need to work harder to make that clear.
