The contrarian in me says now is probably a great time to work at Google. They are basically printing money at this point. Disillusioned kool-aid drinkers are making their way for the exits, which means there are probably ample opportunities for personal growth. Their mission to "organize the world's information" is still relevant. And there's no way it can be as bad as recent media coverage makes it seem... just don't get caught up in any culture wars and you should be golden.

Reading Exhibit B (from the Damore suit), it's apparent that a number of Googlers feel it's their brief to ruin your life if they discover that you don't think the way they do. It's like selling an uncovered call. It'll probably be okay, but you can see upfront that the possible downside is almost unlimited. I've never even heard of a professional environment that bad.
