      Pros

      Benefits and the Disneyland brand will impress your friends

      Cons

      The reality is Google is an ultra-political place where everyone is overqualified so they try to tear others down as their are limited places for advancement. The other problem is you eat breathe and die Google 24/7 and lose touch with reality. Those in leadership positions exploit middle management and force others to slave away while they do little Bosses in Asia get by by outright bullying and favouritism; Plus everything that could be done is already done so the work is far from creative and inspiring Contractors are officially second class citizens and have less privilege and respect

      So many complacent, untalented people

      Pros

      Good work culture, free food, travel

      Cons

      This mentality that Google is the place to "end up." The sales floor is full of unmotivated, uninspiring, untalented people who are perfectly happy coasting by as they can never get fired. As a young grad who wants to learn and make an impact, it was disappointing. Also lots of people get ahead by "playing the game" and SO MUCH POLITICS. It was truly sad to see untalented (some even downright stupid) people get ahead.
