Featured Review

"Loving ABP Google"Jan 24, 2022

★★★★★

Current Employee - Administrative Business Partner IV

I have been working at Google full-time for more than a year

Pros

Excellent company culture and growth mindset.

Cons

Salary isn’t high enough and theres an expectation that you must support 2-3 executives. With attrition, you’re suddenly assigned new executives without your consultation.
