Can anyone comment on Google career progression? Closing in on the Director level but having a conversation about an IC role at Google. While the comp may be great I’m a bit worried it’s limited and just another cog in the machine. Thoughts?

Promotion time is slower here. I also don’t like that you can’t take a job at a higher level here unless your promoted in your current role. With that said Google is awesome we make great money and I’m not stressed.
