Pros

Smart co-workers Great food Interesting, high-impact projects Many learning opportunities High pay Good benefits 30-inch monitor Seemingly unlimited computing resources

Cons

A sense of entitlement from some employees.

With so many reports per manager, it is easy to get overlooked if you don't speak up.

Group offices. Sometimes I really want a door and a quiet place to work.

Advice to Management

The management is doing great. The feeling of trust I get from management at Google helps me to feel committed to my work. Of course, mileage may vary depending on individual managers, but I've been very lucky here. And Eric is the best CEO I've encountered.
