Pros

the perks are the reason to work at google. the food, the shuttle, the casual culture, working from home, massages, etc. Typical PMM roles include: Product launch marketing: You'll ensure that all stakeholders (such as customers and the sales team) are informed about product and feature launches. You'll conduct market research, write communications, and do release planning with engineering, product management, and the sales organization. Field marketing: You'll devise marketing strategy and provide up-to-date market research to enable a true consultative selling approach for the field sales organization. This involves a lot of interaction with the sales and product management team, creative use and presentation of market research, and the ability to create true marketing solutions for customers. Consumer product marketing: Working with one of our portfolio of consumer products (such as Froogle or Gmail), you'll devise a plan to improve customer satisfaction or increase customer acquisition. This involves significant amounts of market research, product-usage analyses, positioning, and customer segmentation.

Cons

the culture at google makes it pretty hard to advance. the company is pretty bottom heavy and the top is controlled by a small group of lifetime googlers.

Pros

Free Food, shuttle, smart prople, other perks.

Cons

There isn't really a lot of room for advancement. When you start at the company, things are great, but after a couple of years you'll realize that you'll probably be stuck in the same job for a long time.

Pros

Google encompasses the dot com environment. The culture is very laid back. The perks such as free meals and snacks is nice, bringing my dog into the office is also nice. The work outings are good as well. And you get to work with some cutting-edge technology. There are a lot of bright people in the company that you can learn a lot from. It feels like working a summer job all year long.

Cons

Senior and middle management lack vision on where to steer the group. If engineers are first-class citizens, and sales people are second-class citizens, then the folks in the datacenters are definitely the third class citizens of Google. Very immature and childish personalities. There is pretty much no growth as the career ladders are a joke. While the perks are nice, and the regular benefits are on par with most other large companies, the compensation is again, a joke (almost a slap in the face). Good people leave the group and either move out of operations and into another group within the company, or leave the company altogether as they realize there is no real career to be made there. Hiring smart and talented people and giving them mundane tasks and assignments just makes no sense. There is no real innovation to be created in operations, essentially you are a worker bee to the company.
