Does Google Have Good Work-Life Balance and Flexibility?

  • "Only really works if you can negotiate well with your manager" - TDT
  • "Flexibility can be a double-edged sword; There are times that It adds more stress since I feel I could never be off work and was expected to be "on" all the time (regardless i am in the office or not) " - Strive for better
  • "It's so competitive that if you try to take the flexible work arrangements or other benefits, it will be seen as weakness and used against you by peers and management. " - Sojourner
