"This is a great place for women to grow their career."

"Great place to work. Lots of generous benefits and policies that support women & families. Plus many women in leadership (on business side, at least) & outlets for female resource groups to support each other. Bar is set high for excellence here, but culture supports flexibility so that {usually} makes it easier (for most) to balance work/life priorities. Google is so big now though that not everyone has had an entirely positive experience. "

"Great company that is looking to be more inclusive and diverse"

"Find a great team that has a product you are really interested/passionate about. Having a supportive manager can really help you, and conversely having a manager that doesn't care about your career will hurt you in the long run."

"Team fit is the most important consideration. Google isn't homogeneous in it's benefits and treatment. For example, folks in engineering will get bigger budgets, flexibility, have a different promotion process and will be treated as first class citizens. If you are in a non-revenue producing area, it is very different and is more traditional in it's hierarchy, bureaucracy and male dominated leadership. Middle manager is truly one of the biggest issues at Google. Many have an inflated sense of self, have no real empathy for people unlike themselves so there is constant bias. Including racial, sexual, religion, whether or not you're a family person, disability and more. They have also weaponized HR heavily and use the "like-me" bias far too often for minorities to strive. YMMV"
