Hyderābād

Current Employee – been working at Google full-time for more than 7 years

ProsWork is extremely fast paced with flexibility to implement ones own solutions to problems. Resources are limited but could be worked around with the management.

ConsNo organized approach to problems. No standardization in writing code. There is nothing as writing code as a team. Too much dependability on person for a tool. No collaboration among team members.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake some time out and organize the procedure

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Hyderābād

Former Employee – worked at Google as a contractor for more than a year

Prosproduct knowledge, lot of technical learning, casual but intense pace of work, amazing food and work environment with a lot of brainy people.

Conshierarchy is creeping in, indifference towards other offices other than MTV if you are talking about new product ideas and execution.

Advice to Senior Managementdidn't dive deep enough to advice the mgmt. Google develops awesome products. My only wish is that it should not take MSFT EEE approach as it is now an Internet giant with sufficient power to wield.
