Pros

Access to a vast wealth of technical resources and people. Culture where engineers are encouraged to push on ideas and lead. Strong benefits.

Cons
  • Given the large size of the company, it's often easy to get lost among thousands of other employees.
  • Other employees are often focused on personal development and promotion rather than on the team.
Advice to Management

There's a continued risk that the company's best talent ends up leaving for opportunities where they can be more innovative and impactful. It'd be great to encourage similar opportunities within Google.
