I know a bunch of people who have went on to work at Google.

All loved the perks, but they also felt like a hostage and just about all have left because of it. It killed some of their relationships and their ability to have nightlife fun on the weekends.

I guess the rumors of not expecting to go home much are true, lol!!

I am amazed so many peeps here are so open about their thoughts (mainly when it comes to not liking it) since so many companies these days do their best to scan the net every once in awhile to see if their employees are talking crap.
