Google

Cutting-Edge Technology: Google is at the forefront of technological innovation. Working here means you're constantly exposed to the latest tech or research idea. Especially in the ML team, we had the occasion to chat about the latest conference highlights. The accidental encounter at the coffee machine often sparked exciting ideas about new experiments.

Incredible Perks: The benefits are unbeatable. From free gourmet food to massages and fitness classes, well, until 2022.

Smart and Inspiring Colleagues.

Career Growth Opportunities: Google offers numerous avenues for career development, whether you want to climb the corporate ladder or move laterally into different roles.

Work-Life Balance.

Overly process-driven: Sometimes I feel that processes take too much of employees' time, and hence we lose time in useless meetings and reviews where everyone is trying to look better in the eyes of this or that manager.

Whereas the tech you are using is usually "cool," in several instances, you will find yourself debugging something that some engineer made years ago, and everyone who was involved with that task likely left the company already.

This can be challenging, as it slows you down a lot, and you will have to go through several layers of management to get the information or the approval for making some changes.
