Why Google Employees Quit

jmke · 19th January 2009, 19:01

We’ve been forwarded what appears to be authentic posts to the thread by a number of ex-Googlers, which we reprint below minus identifying information other than their first names. The thread shows a brutal honesty about what it’s like to work at Google, at least from the point of view of employees who were unhappy enough to resign.

* they closed the damned mini kitchen
* there are too many people at google
* there was an unpopular manager
* they expect you too work and my salary isn't big enough

A few of the posts are more positive, and frankly there isn’t a whole lot here that you don’t see in other big companies.

Probably skipped the intro because there is a lot to read and I don't have time to read all of the posts

.
Ah well, it's not like it's changing my point of view on working at google because working at google is not on my list of considerations
