It all depends on what team you end up on... And since you don't usually get any real choice in the matter, or the opportunity to meet your future manager and teammates to see how you'd fit in, it's a game of russian roulette.
BANG
My brief experience at google was a horror show with great perks. I was even signed up to take Meng's course. But I got a better offer for a better team at a different company long before I got to that and I left within 48 hours of receiving that offer with the management effectively suggesting I not let the door hit me in the a$$ on the way out...
In contrast, I have friends who love it there, and have been there for years. I attempted to transfer to their teams before I got the above offer. Those attempts were blocked...
- eshvk 15y agoSo is there any formal process when you get hired for you to choose which team you get to join? For example, maybe talk to a few teams and then choose which team you get to work on and stuff?
- jojopotato 15y agoI was given the opportunity to talk to two teams before and decide where to go when I joined Google.
- jaredsohn 15y agoWas this before or after accepting the offer?
