Best Decision of my Career
Your experience being a contract engineer at Google will be highly dependent on who manages you, what team you end up on, and (obviously) your co-workers. That said, I feel like I hit the jackpot when I joined.

I highly recommend taking the risk if you are self-motivated and want the opportunity to work with the best of the best.
Endless permissions issues, but this can be helped if you have a good team and a good manager.
