Hey folks, I got an offer from Google yesterday as L4 program manager within the GCS S&O division. I have another offer in Bay Area with higher compensation (10%) in the field that I am interested in. But Google as a brand and the nicety of googlers is too hard to resist. Anyone willing to give me their take on S&O within Google? Pros /cons? Short /long term intangibles? Really appreciate it 🙏🏻

Google bonus structures are brilliant. Equity tends to be attractive. Also heard their S&O is really hard to get in so kudos to you.

As L4 - you will have a lot of flexibility to move around. I got 13 YOE and interviewing for L6 role (though my googler friend tells me to be okay if I get pegged to L5). I will find out more on promotions if slower across board. What I hear is it is a flat org, designations mean nothing, and people choose to spend more time at a level

Do you want to be a Program Manager? You’re not going to be doing S&O work and it’ll be harder for you to transition into an S&O role.

If you want to do Program Management that’s great and I think Google is a fantastic place to do it, especially given how innovative some of their projects are.

Could you help with referral? Thanks for considering and let me know if I can DM. 🙏🏼

Just tag Google company and ask if anyone can give you a referral. Everyone likes free referral money

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
