"One of the best employers."

"I work at Google and it's a good place to work and learn."

"I do not wish to write a review."

"Best company I have worked so far as far as job culture and management is concerned."

"I have been working at Google for 3 years. It is a great place with the latest technologies, nice people and opportunities to work."

"I would like to skip the review."

"I worked for Google via Adecco for nearly 2 years. It's a really good working environment."

"Excellent company to work for. Benefits are beyond reproach. Don't bother applying to a role unless you have lots of experience in that role and can speak to each of the job descriptions' asks. Some roles are not as clearly defined as others and the entire culture revolves around software engineers."

"Generally a good place to work (apart from the traffic)"

"Highly contentious environment with many skill building opportunities, and few, very valuable collaboration opportunities. Management was very green, and appreciation for programmer effort, which only changed after systemic flaws were uncovered."

"gTech is the worst place to work in Google. Stay away from gTech ads especially. Unless you want to reorg every six months and have to explain what you do to a manager who doesn't care."

"Working for Google is pretty awesome in most ways. They make it easy to get stuff done and really strive to build a positive work environment. Everyone is really smart. The downside is that you are a cog in their machine. Most people work on a tiny piece of a tiny piece of the system. Most of the managers in my group are decent, but I'm stuck with a not-so-great one. Being a contractor you get a lot of the day-to-day perks that the employees get, but you are shut out of certain events. I usually don't miss it, though. I get more perks as a contractor at Google than I've gotten as regular employee at other jobs."

"Google is a great place to work. The conversion process is, however, unacceptable."

"This is an outreach program organized by Google. It's main purpose is to find talented college/university students who are passionate about technology and are knowledgeable about it. These students will be picked to become Google representatives (not employees) in their respective colleges/universities with the following responsibilities: Promote, teach and help adopt Google Services to students, teachers and businesses. Become point of contact between Google and those mentioned above. Organize events inside your respective colleges/universities to either promote the services, teach how to use them or at least use Google's services to help minimize costs and make the event a success. You are there to learn and show the student body that Google is more than a technology company."

"Google has been rated the number one place to work by Fortune for several years in a row. I agree."
