Interesting Take on Life at (and after) Google

Why do people go to work at Google? Why do they stay at Google? Why do they leave Google? Here’s an interesting take on this from former Google employees allegedly taken from a private Google Group set up by Google to understand why people leave. Posted on TechCrunch.

Here are the recurring themes:

  • excessively long hiring process
  • below market pay
  • poor management
  • decreasing benefits

But it wasn’t all bad. Many former Googlers chimed in about having a good experience.

I know both current and former Googlers that fall on both side – some love it, some hate it.
It’s long, but an interesting read.
