Pros
Great benefits as an Alphabet company. But not as many company-wide days off as Google in the pandemic. Smart and humble coworkers to work with Interesting work
Kontras
Bad work life balance. So many people I know work long hours, not sure which teams really have good work-life balance as written in other reviews. It’s hard to get promotion (probably even harder than Google), and no clear career growth path in some teams. Managers are hit or miss, probably the influence from the Google culture of promoting good IC’s, who are not necessarily good people managers. Start up, so almost no equity liquidity, translating into overall low cash flow in the expensive Bay Area. But of course, for people who can wait longer time, you might be paid off.
