Pros

Google “perks” - free food, free EV charging

Cons

- you could be the hardest worker, go above and beyond and NEVER receive any acknowledgement. - clients are “googlers” that are very entitled, snobby and rude - management plays favorites. It doesn’t matter if you work hard and the favorites slack off. If you aren’t a favorite and make a small mistake it is a big deal. If you are a favorite and make a huge mistake, it is not a big deal. -You only get promoted or a raise if you suck up to upper management. - AWFUL culture. Gossiping, Cliques, separate group chats, they make you feel like an outsider if you aren’t a favorite and don’t abuse substances with the bosses outside of work. - no recognition, no bonus goals, no holiday party or gift, they don’t even give you a happy birthday message. - poor communication. They expect us to know when processes change but upper management doesn’t relay the messages. Then you get reprimanded for not knowing. -the people and the culture are awful. They preach “tough love” and “coaching” but it’s actually just bullying and pushes people down.
