Pros and cons of working at Google AU
Pros
Not very hierarchical, every opinion is respected and heard. Strong focus on helping others in the team, and always very social, even with people I do not directly work with.
Free food, inclusive culture, knowledge sharing from seniors to juniors, private health insurance.
I am given a lot of autonomy to manage myself, even as a graduate, and work on what I think is needed for my projects.
There is the annual review cycle where you can self-nominate or your manager can nominate you for promotion. Plenty of opportunity to move up the ranks.
The best thing about working at Google is the People. As I have never worked at company where I get to work with all sorts of cool and different characters across the organisation and across the world i.e. APAC, EMEA & AMER.
Cons
Office located in a very strange location, requires a transport transfer (train/bus to light rail).
There is a fair bit of pressure to perform at a high standard, which can be tiring sometimes.
Slight job insecurity
Some teams are closer (more social) than others. In terms of socialising, some people disappear at 5pm, others stick around to play cards, pool, board games etc.
Many meetings
