Google Senior Software Engineer reviews

- I have never seen a normal and smart Manager : their all have their limits or issues - sometimes you will work your really hard and nobody will care and you will have no return on your professional investment - promotion process is a real joke (the peer review process is NOT the one that matters actually) - somewhat lower quality people (compared to before) : the new recruits are in general less smart - food is definitively going down big time (but this is still free so you cannot complain too much, right?) - perks going down (there were better before)

It's a large company, so you can expect to work on a relatively narrow problem. While office politics isn't bad, it does occasionally frustrate, with projects getting moved around without consultation of rank-and-file employees.
