"I've been on my third assignment at Google through a staffing agency and I have to say, it is one of the best jobs I've had. With the many resources provided, I am able to work successfully on multiple projects simultaneously from inception to completion. I have the freedom to be a creative problem-solver, with the ability to think, plan and execute multiple projects autonomously. The culture at Google is friendly, approachable, resourceful, and intelligent."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Other than understanding that your skills have certain limits, and in order to move on to a higher level, you will constantly need to learn new things daily."

"I would like to experience a less bureaucratic and more transparent type of management."
