Welcome to having a regular non-union job? There's several billion other people in the club. It's not exciting, and you will be let go whenever the company wants a boost in their financials. There's also no free snacks or chefs, but you (at Google) still get a bigger salary than anyone else in the world with your job, if that helps. If you want fulfillment, excitement, vision, etc, you could always change jobs to a smaller company whose reason for being isn't selling ads.

I probably wouldn't do it indefinitely but it can make sense to hang around for a while.
