Bleeding Edge, Long Hours
Amazing technology. Great environment to learn in. High expectations. You need to be able to upramp quickly and come up to speed on emerging, bleeding-edge technologies in short order.
The hours can be very long.
Google has a strong "Not Invented Here" mentality.
So you will work with a lot of Google-only code. Everything from the development environment, build system, code review tool, and automated test tool are in-house only tools. They are all custom developed.
Focus more on Mobile. Be careful not to be too distracted by the Google X projects.
