Experience of a lifetime

Software Engineering Intern (Former Employee)
Bangalore

I worked at Google part-time for less than a year

ProsHas the best employee environment and gives the best facilities to them. A family like atmosphere inside company without bounds makes you enjoy your work.

ConsIt actually has none as far as I could find. You name anything and Google had already thought of it and worked upon it.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Amazing experience

Intern (Former Employee)
Gurgaon, Haryana

I worked at Google as an intern for less than a year

ProsAn opportunity that broadened my horizons and helped gain insight into the best practices with a leading company. The focus on good quality work and ethics surpassed everything else. Managers and seniors at every level were approachable and gave constant feedback to achieve significant improvements in a very short span of time.

ConsWas spoilt with the perks from the job and the experience increased my overall expectations from any future employer.

Advice to Senior ManagementPlease create more opportunities to have Interns on board so that the awareness and enthusiam is created amongst high performing students to consider prospects with Google.

Awesome BOLD Summer Internship

BOLD Intern (Former Employee)
Mountain View, CA (US)

I worked at Google as an intern for less than a year

ProsSmart people, great perks (food, gyms, fun, free SWAG), overal good experience for a college kid looking to learn a bunch while having a great summer

ConsFrom the summer, it seemed that business opportunities were a bit limited. Also, recruiting timelines took forever -- they were very slow about getting back to candidates.
