Pros

Obviously, the comp and perks are great. There are still some aspects of the culture that are fantastic.

Cons

Given decisions in the past few months, it's difficult to trust that any of the culture will last.

Our CEO bows to very public demands from activist investors that, despite record profits, they are simply uncomfortable with how happy Googlers are.

We've had top performers laid off with no particular explanation.

Advice to Management

Sundar should grow a spine and honor the statements of the founders in the company's S-1 filing that the company will not respond to short-term market pressure.
