Google – “Great perks, boring job

5 of 5 people found this helpful

Google Risk Operations Associate in Mountain View, CA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

The benefits package is amazing, even if you're just a temp. Fun atmosphere, always a lot of perks, even if the job itself is boring. Coworkers tend to be friendly peers rather than smarmy corporate types, although there's a lot of corporate lingo around.

Cons

Long hours, plus I had to work occasional weekends and holidays - didn't have much of a personal life outside of work. Also gained 15 pounds. Great place to get ahead in business, but not if you've got different kinds of career goals.

Advice to Senior Management

A little more transparency in decisionmaking, but this is the case in all companies.
