Google Employee Reviews for Driver
I loved working independently. I had a Ops lead that I could call, if need be. But for the most part all communication was done via Email with new towns to map and due dates.
Pros
Independent, loved driving
Cons
Didn't last long enoughr
Google is a great example of a business that provides excellent corporate culture. The staff and management are relatable, proficient, and easy to work with.
Adecco hires for Google. The account representatives who manage onboarding are competent and easy to work with.

working for good was a good and fun job. I enjoyed travelling and doing google maps. I was very very nice to go to mountain view and see everthing and nice people
A typical day at work was to go out to an area of Palm Beach County and "map the area" according to my GPS system inside the car. A camera was mounted on the top of the car for information gathering.
Pros
my own boss
Cons
not as easy as it soundsShare
I had a helper and we would pick up our car for the day and we would go on our route. i would drive and the helper would deliver the material. we would pick up material from stores and deliver them to customers
Pros

Cons
the shifts they had didn't leave room to get personal things done

Technical Driver of Google Street View Car (Former Employee) – All roads in the Philippines – October 10, 2018
Google is a great company to work in and the experience is awesome the greatest job I ever had. To be a part of google street view project I’m really proud and a memorable one.
Pros
People are also excited seeing the google car that I’m driving some are taking pictures and videos
Cons
Sometimes my wheels get stuck in a mud paddle in remote areas
Autonomia e libera gestione del tempo di lavoro
lavoro dinamico e innovativo, indipendente, raggiungimento obiettivi standar elevati.
Pros
buoni pasto, rimborso spese ecc.
Cons
Poca comunicazione con manager aziendale
A solid and enjoyable job for the right person.
Working remotely from 3000 miles away from the office can be both a blessing and a curse. I knew id never recieve emails in the middle of the night but, depending on who you "Ops-Lead" is, They may either take forever to reply or not reply at all. However that aside, I love driving and i like being by myself. I was perfect for the job, but i can definitely see not everyone being able to handle it.
Pros
Very accepting workplace
Cons
Slow or nonexistent communications.t
On the road action and loads of fun!
Everyday I mapped a new area of either my city or the surrounding counties. I learned the city like the back of my hand this way and with the guidance of management(who were awesome) I efficiently got my job done. The hardest part was simply getting used to working a job that didn't require me to do back breaking work. It was very odd just driving all day and getting paid for it but very enjoyable.
Pros
laid back, great management, learning experience.
Cons
Long ride back home.
Self Motivated and Responsibility is on You
You can start mapping after sunrise and map until sunset, so as long as the sun is up (minus some dusk/dawn parameters) you can get out there when you want, stop when you need to, and not have any micromanaging. Very fun and freeing position, but can be a little boring at times in a car all day by yourself. Very fun summer job.
Pros
You're working for Google!
Cons
Temporary Position
Google as a company was incredible! The culture was great, job performance expectations were high but never overwhelming. Although this was a temporary job, I was never made to feel expendable. They cared about me, my wellbeing, and did all they could to make me feel like I was important! I LOVED this job and would hope to land this position again!
enjoyable, busy, fast pace nice people very clean environment training is good parking is terrible need more batteries for back on scanners more inspection on delivery cars
Pros
nice break areas
Cons
short break
Very good especially if you work multiple jobs, this job is fulltime pay with part time hours work. M-F Weekends off, Very laid back especially if you come from customer service backgrounds.
Flexible hours making my own schedule any day of the week. I learned a lot about the area of New York City and New Jersey. I would certainly recommend working for Google to anyone.
Working for Google you were on your own a lot . You were given the opportunity to reach your peak potential, the only way you could fail is if you did not want to succeed.
As a Project Driver you never knew what the day would hold and where you where off to next.
The money is extremely good and Google really look after their employees. We always stayed in the best lodging available.
Only hard part, and I say this lightly, is we would sometimes be far away from any civilisation. In those cases support from HQ was difficult.

Wonderful opportunity to work with a prestigious company
The StreetView project is a very wonderful and unique position. On a daily basis I drove the StreetView car and updated Google maps. I had the privilege to meet many wonderful people.
Great opportunity to work on experimental technology
My contract at Google for their self driving car project has been a truly fun and unique experience. Every day we come in to work and test their self driving cars on the streets of Mountain View. Through this job I've learned how to troubleshoot software bugs and learned ways to communicate with a cross functional team of developers of various backgrounds.
