Pros: The hybrid model is a lifesaver, letting me WFH a few days a week. That really helps with personal appointments. As a Software Engineer, the projects are usually engaging, which makes the long days feel a bit less draining.
Cons: During project launches or critical deadlines, expect to work more than 40 hour weeks. There's often pressure from management to push features faster in this competitive search engine industry. It's tough to truly disconnect sometimes.
Advice to Management: Try to manage project scope better to avoid constant crunch times. Support your Software Engineer teams more with realistic deadlines, especially in the San Francisco office.
