How flexible is working from home policy at Google in Silicon Valley?

Because of my long distance relationship, I am looking for a job where I can work form home one week every month. I will be out of California during this one week to be close to my wife.

Is this something you can do at Google? Or it's frowned upon?

Any idea about hardware team? Specifically in PM kind of role?

    Google is not very keen on WFH. After 6-12 months of proving yourself some people can get arrangements like 1 day / week of WFH, or 1-2 days/wk of working in the SF office instead of MTV if they live in the city, but a week per month would be difficult.

    Google is not the right place to work if you want more work from home. other companies are way more flexible.

    Unlikely you'll get that, especially as a new hire. Look for a position at a Google office nearer your wife?
