Google Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Great amazing marvelous awesome, grateful

Great Good amazing wounderfull awesome marvelous

Teaching giving back to make a change for the better and the ability to do so

It's a digital culture but it's culture

Everyone is understanding of there difference but we are equally the same

good culture good benfit good attraction

Support Every One And Understand

Soude comme une seule et meme famille

People love working here and want to help customers

The laughter spilling over from a casual conversation, the way tension melts into playfulness, the thrill of solving something impossible together. The fleeting touches, the near misses, the way a voice lowers just a little when explaining a complex idea.

being able to be super comfortable (dress code) and having autonomy

Review from Product Dept

Too personal question for reply

People management customers employees and more

Being able to get work done within a timely manner

Review from Design Dept

- Folks are open to listen to you - Open culture - Respect one another - Diverse culture

The engineering infrastructure that is available

Review from Engineering Dept

Ability to work independently & freely

The aura and friendliness of my fellow coworkers

I like it the culture and environment of this company

The company is very supportive in maintaining work life balance!!!!!!

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Leadership needs to formulate a strategy

distribution of the work better, better systems, fast systems implementation and process approvals

Leadership should take feedback and work on it and not retaliate on the employees who share feedback

less bureaucracy, More honestly about Grad and how it works. The company misrepresents that there are no number targets per rating. The way they handled "support check in's" was a disaster. The way layoffs were handlwd was disrespectful and rude. The severence was ok.

Combination of base salary improvements, off site perks model, treating everyone at same level of respect, providing growth opportunities equally, identifying and eliminating bias, identify and eliminating credit stealing individuals

make me the owner because it would be better

Review from HR Dept

Stop paying lip service to diversity and inclusion and actually make change instead of defending failure to be equitable

Accountability amongst team workers and strong leadership defining direction

Review from Operations Dept

care more for the associate and reduce the micromanagement

Review from Engineering Dept

The mood needs to change.

Review from HR Dept

Too many external execs bringing in bean counting culture. Too many execs with honesty problems.

Review from Engineering Dept

We could focus a bit on the individualistic approach to employees, such as remembering their name.

Review from Engineering Dept

Lot's of politics, especially at Youtube

Review from Operations Dept

Too many consultants at the top who have never actually done the job before and have a tendency to manage up only and punch down.

Review from IT Dept

Equity, inclusion, people and team centered leaders
