Can’t speak to it personally but have had 3 friends go to google and absolutely hate it. Brilliant people who just found the work underwhelming and the woke culture exhausting. I feel as if some of Google’s strategy is to hire everyone brilliant and just hold them to avoid competition from startups and competitors.

The roles are so narrow in scope and work load so lite.

Light workload, you say?

Similar position - try for 2 years, if you hate it come back to consulting no problem. Low risk, high reward - you could love it or use it to pivot to
