I have been working at Google
Pros – This is a casual and smart environment, with a lot of great benefits. There is never an opportunity to be bored, and the company seems to encourage long hours by providing a great workplace with gaming rooms and napping areas, as well as gourmet meals thrice daily.
Cons – A lot of people come right out of school, and they expect the world on a silver platter. New college grads got used to fresh blueberries in the morning for breakfast, and now think this is a terrible place to work without those berries, but we still get free meals! It can be a snobby atmosphere, especially in the New York office, with Ivy league grads showing off their college brands. It is somewhat pompous, especially when these bright techies lack social skills.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop pretending you're "different than corporate America" when the same red tape exists here as anywhere else.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
