In the survey of the most popular employers among employees, Google always manages to挤进the top ten, and sometimes even ranks first when luck is on its side. However, things are not always perfect; what are some of the less satisfactory aspects of working at this highly favored company by employees?On the American Q&A website Quora, someone asked about this very topic. Some former Google employees answered the question anonymously, and Tencent Technology selected and shared the answers with the highest recognition.Underutilization of Talent Leading to Lack of AccomplishmentFor most employees working at Google, the worst aspect is that their work does not fully utilize their talents. It's well-known that Google’s brand, compensation, and corporate culture make the entry threshold for this company extremely high. Therefore, the employees they hire are all very talented, even for positions with lower requirements.Some graduates from top universities might be doing technical support for Google's advertising products, or removing non-compliant videos from YouTube, or writing basic code for AB tests on website buttons.If this situation is widespread, it can lead to many issues:Slow promotions. With so many equally capable people above you and low barriers to mastering the work, standing out becomes difficult.Boring work. It's hard to gain a sense of accomplishment from your job, which discourages those who aspire to achieve great things.Loss of motivation.

If an employee works on a very core project and performs well, promotion is easy. However, most people are not in such projects.The leadership team also frequently loses focus. They decide to launch many projects that sound cool but end up being poorly executed. These pseudo-projects show no tangible results.When there isn't much pressure on the project, company discipline doesn't exist. Discussions in emails revolve around various trivial matters. Sometimes asking serious questions even leads to sarcasm.In fact, reflecting on Google's important products, the ones completely developed in-house are only Google Search and Adsense. Android, YouTube, and Maps were acquired. Google+ was a failure to non-Google employees. Chrome browser is excellent, but it lacks direct commercialization capabilities; its main role is actually to protect the status of Google Search. Additionally, people may have long overlooked ChromeOS. The next potential killer product might only be Google Glass. But who are the real operators behind this project? Actually, it's Brin. A small number of people are the true builders, while the majority just go with the flow.An author summarized that the most challenging work at Google is actually getting into Google, i.e., passing the interview.Of course, the above are just responses from some employees, whether they are truly representative or not, Tencent Technology makes no judgment, for reference only.
