Pros

Amazing people to work with; all have loads of experience and engineering ability.

Lots of opportunities to learn anything and explore any subject area.

The best tooling available on Earth, with their custom tools and integrations, and the ability to look into the history of the mistakes made and the fixes created over two decades of amazing engineering.

And yeah, free food once CoViD is over.

Cons

Maybe too many proprietary tools make it hard to transfer skills to a new company. Pay is lesser at the start than some HFTs or a few other startups, but it seems to be better in the long run.

Advice to Management

Management is already great, but for new employees, it would help a little if someone organized a meeting to discuss why certain things have now been done the way they have.

Understanding Google's past and why certain things are in place (engineering-wise) is quite hard.
