A great, tech-forward company to grow your career
Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
February 24, 2025
Pros: It's a very tech-forward company where new technologies and architecture patterns are actively encouraged by the leadership.
There is a healthy push from the leadership towards experimenting with the newest frameworks, which will help you as an engineer to keep up to date with the latest technologies.
The workload is pretty balanced, and the benefits are also great and at par with other FAANG companies.
Cons: Typically, a software development triad (Dev, Product Managers, Experience Design) works best when all three pillars are equally empowered. However, currently, there is a slight engineering bias in the teams. There is an opportunity for the product and especially the design teams to be strengthened.

Overall good, but cross-time zone communication can affect work/life balance
Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
January 17, 2025
Pros: Salary and benefits
Overall good culture. Employees are recognized and rewarded.
Cons: I'm not sure of the stats, but around half of engineers are in India and around half are in the Pacific time zone. Given that, even when the company does try to do good separation of teams between the time zones, there's still plenty of cross-team communication required. So, don't be surprised to be in late-night meetings and receive Slack messages at night (depends on team).
