I worked for Google as a contractor for a small team a few years ago. What's most impressive looking back is that everyone I worked with was genuinely nice and smart including the cooks and janitors. I would be willing to hire literally everyone I worked with, no exceptions. Overall, Google treats its employees really well and receives good work from them. Working at Google exposes you to best practices. Overall, Google will continue to do well for the foreseeable future as they control ~90% of the online advertising market.
