Google is one of the best things that has happened to me....
Associate Account Strategist (Current Employee), Hyderabad – May 21, 2013
Google is a workplace that every employee dreams of. It has almost all the amenities that a 5 star hotel can provide: delicious food, gym, spa, massage, games rooms, open work environment.

The co-workers are among the smartest people I have ever met. This makes me realize that I am indeed fortunate and deserving enough to be at this place.

Great work environment with extremely knowledgeable coworkers
Ad Moderation Coordinator (Former Employee), Mountain View, CA – May 13, 2013
Pros: free food, pool tables, bowling alley, incredible speakers
Cons: difficult to switch to a different role
Everyone I worked with was very intelligent and personable. It made me elevate my work habits so that I wasn't the lazy one sticking out of such a great bunch.

My manager was extremely laid-back and hands-off, but we had weekly meetings to make sure we were on the same page for various projects and daily responsibilities.

Hardest part of the job is – more... that it sometimes became a bit routine, but there are so many great benefits at the Google campus that it's very easy to recharge and come back to my desk, or even work outside or at home, to keep things fresh. – less

Well – May 17, 2013

This seems to be the case for all large tech companies that utilize contractors for any purpose other than temp-to-hire.

Horrible job security, not a good work environment
Scan Operator (Former Employee), Ann Arbor, MI – April 3, 2013
Pros: a steady 40 hours at a semi good pay
Cons: breaks your body down over time
I did not like this job at all, all the windows were taped up so we didn't receive any sun light during a work day. They fired clusters of people daily for simple mistakes. Most of the supervisors treated you horribly.
