Seems like everyone keeps raving about working at google. Well, that got me thinking, why wouldn't someone want to work there?
Lots of reasons. Use your imagination
There is no reason for such a thing

At Blind it is very easy to find out about the downsides of any company, lol.
You're a tiny cog in a huge machine, it's hard to own anything. The 20% time has long since been neutered and they're chipping away the perks every year. They're not market leading in comp, and devalue achievements from before you join. Overall though: great culture, fantastic people, amazing tech. 10/10 would definitely work there again.
You’re really not that significant in the big picture of things unless you’re a Jeff Dean or someone really senior. Google just has so many people ready to take your place. I’ve asked Googlers this question many times and they always respond with you always try and focus on making your small piece of your project as significant to you as possible. They say that whatever you develop will be touched by millions of people, no matter how small it is. Some people are fine with that, but I’d see that as a downside to working at a massive company like Google that has 40k engineers. The upsides are the great working culture and the wonderful tools that engineers have at their disposal. There’s also all the resources around you while you’re working and there’s a lot of flexibility
You’re nothing but a small fish in a big pond. Boring overachievers who are underworked. Leaving was one of the best things I did for my psyche. It’s nothing but a brand name, like these ladies who look down on other women for not carrying a luxury brand purse.
Politics, shitty location, bad dating prospects, zzz
It’s a really fun job and the food is fucking bomb. I work with ultra smart mother fuckers.

Guys who don’t work out: why?
Grass is greener on other side. See the thread about the guy considering Bloomberg.
