Everything here depends on your direct manager. You will either get a genuine leader who invests in your growth and success or a someone who pretends but is only there to make themselves look good and will actively make your life hell to push you out. Holier than thou attitudes of middle managers make it very a very toxic and two-faced environment. If you don't follow blindly you will be pushed out of the company under the facade of "support". Expectations seem to be different for people in the same role depending on if a manager likes you or not. Untrustworthy people in influential positions who play the politics game instead of actually serving customers. HR dont take reports of bullying and discrimination seriously enough. They don't actually care about customers and doing things the right way, its a fake customer first mindset while you're forced to shove products down businesses throats even though it could ruin their business. Overall - be very cautious of the people around you, because behind the smiles, fake "we're a team and support each other" talk and "Googliness", there are some who want you to fail.

Toxic environment to work. People are encouraged to take credit for things they didn't do, many bullies as well. Many people are overworked and Google is replacing higher levels to younger people with little to no experience.
