Pros

4 months paid leave with newborns, work from home Wednesdays, unlimited high-quality food. I can always walk in the park on the roof if I need some fresh air. The food is consistently great.

Cons

The only legitimate con I have about working here is meeting start times. Meetings go from 12:00-1:00, for example, with the following meeting starting at 1:00 promptly. This naturally leads to people starting meetings late.

Also, I get withdrawals on the weekends when at home because the food here is so good. It causes me to eat out more on the weekends, and thus I don't actually save on my food bill.

Advice to Management

I would love to modify our policy on meetings to be more in line with what I understand Google's to be. Meetings can be scheduled for 25 or 55 minutes and must always have a 5-minute window so meetings can start on time and end with a reasonable gap to get to the next place.
