Amazing place - part-innovation lab; part-college; part-book club

Mountain View, CA

Current Employee – been working at Google

ProsThe best working environment I have ever seen. Everyone is generally a team player; everyone is very smart. The leadership will make big bets to try to make things better for the user; the internal transparency is rare and everyone shares information quite freely. The benefits are industry leading and the relative youth of the company keeps it a remarkably fun place to work.

ConsThere really isn't much that could be described as a Con. There are some growing pains as the company decides the right balance between more process and maintaining creativity and a slight sense of chaos in the various groups.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to reward merit. Actively and visibly manage out poor performers and those who don't exhibit the cultural values we cherish so much.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
