      Golden Cage

      Senior account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits: Great remuneration package, free food, paid insurance, generous share and bonus scheme; maternity/paternity leave etc. In general, you'll find amazingly talented pool of people to work with, flat organisational structure, collaborative environment. Geographical moves are easy and also encouraged within the company.

      Cons

      Highly competitive, overly metric driven, constant reorganisations and management changes making career development difficult. Career progression can be an issue if your manager is unsupportive, and may be limited depending on the location you're working in. Smaller offices have less career development opportunities. In sales, there is a strong 'me, myself and I' culture where you will need to position your achievements strategically to get ahead which can be tedious and tiresome.

      Getting a little bloated, but still a brilliant company.

      Corporate operations engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Google has structured itself well to resist becoming 'evil' as it grows. That's not to say it doesn't - but it takes hold a lot slower than at other companies our size. There's a lot of importance placed on transparency, accountability, and technical acumen by the average employee.

      Cons

      While everyone is allowed to question the company's decisions, senior management are getting better at dodging them. Making a career for yourself can be very difficult unless you are exceedingly brilliant. There are a lot of very, very smart people here.

      Well paid, great benefits, smart people, political environment

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The office is full of young, smart & passionate people. There's lots of focus on career development and training. You're looked after very well in terms of benefits and comp.

      Cons

      The Sydney office has become increasingly corporate and there's plenty of office politics. It's great place for someone who is early in their career, however unless you love media sales it's a challenge to find the right role for those who are more advanced in their career.
