Google reviews

Google is one of the first places I've worked where I feel like I'm surrounded by people that are way smarter than I am. This makes for a really creative environment, where everyone is pushing you to go beyond your limits and make something even better. It also means that you can just trust that everyone around you is really good at what they do. There's also a huge focus on only launching things when they're ready, which, as an engineer, means when something does launch, you're really proud of it, and don't feel like it's half-assed because you were rushing to a deadline and cut a lot of corners. Oh, and the free food and benefits rock, but they wouldn't keep me at any job if I didn't enjoy the work and the people. But when you do like the job and the people, they make it that much better:)

The best part about working at Google is the number of very smart people constantly around you. Great team settings where you can learn and be around the best. There are tons of other employee benefits as well, such as the free food (3 meals a day cooked by excellent chefs) and snacks, game areas (fooseball, volleyball), bicycles, workout center, laundry machines, etc. All of these things cause you to worry about less outside of work.
