Google – “Not all it's cracked up to be”

Pros

Many colleagues are good people and good at their job, it's exciting to work at somewhere so influential, it's good on the resume, great food

Cons

Neverending workload and hours, constant firedrill - change for change's sake, lack of recognition, very limited career opportunities for many (all of whom are used to being high achievers), highly political, company rests on its laurels regarding its reputation as a great employer

Advice to Senior Management

Too many leaders who contradict the company "values" every day are promoted and recognized - sets a bad example to the rest of the organization
