Smart Team, Hiring Concerns
The benefits, especially the food and fluid hours, are great. So is the fact that everyone around you is incredibly smart.
I think Google is expanding too quickly, and that they are letting in too many people who don't meet the standards. For example, I knew an employee who claimed that they didn't have any code to show for the past several months of work because their computer's hard drives crashed, yet everyone knows that no one stores code on their own computer. There are version control repositories.
Additionally, I know great people who have not been hired for random reasons, such as failing an interview which required coding in C over the phone.
