Pros
I have enjoyed working for Chesamel. From a career standpoint, I have had very high demand roles in the past and I find that the workload is much more realistic here. I enjoy the work that I have been doing, and I love working from home and having flexibility. I have also found my Google team members to be really great to work with. The Chesamel team has been incredible. I have gotten some really amazing coaching. They have also been amazingly compassionate in times that were hugely stressful in my life. I have never had a workplace treat me so kindly, and it has been extremely meaningful to me.
Cons
This is a contract role, so you are not a Google employee. For me, this doesn't matter. I still feel like a Google employee in many respects. and it's great for your resume. Contract roles are common at Google, though.
Pros
Exposure to Google projects and people. If you want to be heads down as a contractor and see it for what it is, you can use to move onto the next best thing.
Cons
Very misleading interview process - they are a glorified recruitment agency that contract out to Google. You do not work for Google, and have no perks whatsoever - like being a 2nd class citizen vs actual employees. Bear this in mind as you go through the process. The internal "benefits" and "culture" are minimal. Management seems to have no idea what they are doing - things change constantly. A weirdly toxic environment to be in at times.
