      Decent place to work, could be better

      Adwords

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are nice, though less extravagant in offices that don't have engineers. The people are for the most part bright, friendly, and really willing to help each other. The work is interesting and rarely boring.

      Cons

      The promotion structure is problematic. How you do in your core job is very undervalued in determining promotions. You can be amazing at the main part of your job, but what's prized are all the extra little projects. You'd be better of neglecting your main job to take on 5 little side projects. They also tend to hire way too many people for management positions from outside rather than promoting from within. This means that it's almost impossible to get ahead.

      "Don't Be Evil" - Just another line of corporate bullsh*t

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, Alpha/Beta testing products before they hit the market, working across multiple teams in multiple locations through video conferencing, youthful, young

      Cons

      Inexperienced management, cult-like internal 'droid' type mentality amongst workers, limited career growth, beware: 99% of job descriptions posted by Google are VERY misleading, take Ivy league and top 25 graduates and place in generic customer satisfactions roles on phones, absurd work hours (60 hr per week), too many people believe the corporate spin - remember - Money & other magazines give the top spot to whoever slips the most under the counter. Misleading motto: "Don't Be Evil"
