does anyone here work at Google Cloud in Seattle on the UX team.

Seems like they have some autonomy and ability to move faster than other Google teams. But have only taked with a PM about the team.

I am wondering if the projects are interesting and work is enjoyable?

Pros/Cons/Stay away?

  • My team had 4 UX people leave google in a 10 month period. 3 were there less than a year. Went to microsoft and other Seattle tech companies.

    There’s a general lack of direction and consistently changing priorities. Constant reorgs also caused issues since teams were never able to complete projects. Many new UX people were also down-leveled coming in, so much to the point that leaving google gave them huge promotions in their new roles.

    If you like cloud products (I’m not judging), then it’s fine. But overall, Cloud UX isn’t going to build a great portfolio. It’s just good for your resume.

      This is really great context. Thank you! I am looking for enjoyable work. Constantly shifting priorities is def not going to give me that.

    • Now keep in mind, you’ll get great pay in the tech field. It’s not a “bad” gig to have, but you have to go in knowing why you’re there. The company is obviously solid and has great benefits. But don’t go in expecting to own a great statement of work that will last 2-3 years and is something you can build your career off of.

    The people that say it’s bad, do you work in the Cloud group? Or just hear say?
