Working at Google in Kirkland, WA: 6 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Kirkland, WA Area

"It's Google. The stories you've heard are true."

"Google is a fabulous place to work. Unfortunately, as a contractor, there is a lot of stuff that I don't get to do, and I don't get to know about. Consequently, I can't really review what it is like to be a real Googler. I have to write that I am having a lot of fun. I really enjoy getting up in the morning and going to work. I love the man I work for - he is a wonderful guy. We have a very collaborative relationship."

"Google! Wow! I've never worked at any place like it, and I probably never will again unless I get another gig at Google. I got stuck with running a software development lab that is obsolete but has to remain around to support a legacy system, so I didn't get to work with the new and really cool Google infrastructure. Since I was a contractor, I had no chance of moving unless Google decides to convert me to full time, which they are thinking about."

"Great benefits, great pay. No career development. Entitled and arrogant coworkers.This company has some incredibly smart people and the problems they can solve are immense. The internal infrastructure for solving problems and build applications is the best I've seen. Don't plan on anyone helping you with your career though."

"I resigned from Google in September 2013. While I liked working there, I didn't see my career going in the direction I wanted it to. I had plenty of learning opportunities but not enough advancement opportunities."

"I enjoyed the position but the work was repetitive, and I saw no growth potential."
