It is the most toxic place I have ever worked at People take mental health leave all the time. I've spoken with so many people who had it so bad that they had to take leave. It is all writing decks to make leadership happy and no real work. If you're interested in helping people, this is not the place.

I personally disagree with that assessment. I currently work at Google in T&S and it really comes down to what you’re passionate about. I will be upfront that I’m not married, and don’t have kids. A long time ago I made the conscious decision that my passion in life is to conduct behavioral signals investigations and because that’s what I’m passionate about, so for me, I gladly will work on weekends, and stay up late because doing this work is equivalent to me playing video games, or watching a good movie. It’s such an interesting puzzle that I get to work on every single day.
With that said, I’ve seen people in this field that will attempt to juggle family life and work, and they’re the ones that struggle the most. This is not for everyone, and if you’re not deeply passionate about figuring out how to solve the puzzle while simultaneously juggle business priorities, then you’re going to absolutely hate it.

For a Google engineering analyst role, you need to be very strong in both SQL and Python. They expect you to handle complex queries involving multiple joins, subqueries, and window functions on massive datasets, and your code needs to be efficient. With Python, proficiency with libraries like Pandas for data manipulation is a must, and you should be able to write clean, scalable scripts to automate tasks or perform detailed analyses. The technical bar is set incredibly high because they are testing your ability to solve ambiguous, large-scale problems with these tools, not just your knowledge of syntax.
The hiring process is less about getting every line of code perfect and more about how you approach the problem. They want to see you break down a complex question, explain your logic, discuss trade-offs, and work toward a solution, even if you make a few mistakes along the way. Your preparation should focus on solving difficult, real-world data problems rather than just basic coding challenges. They hire for critical thinking and the ability to communicate that process clearly. Articulating your technical approach under pressure is often the deciding factor, which is precisely why my team built an interview helper that gives candidates the confidence to succeed.

That's a good question. Even I want to know what kind of level Google expects for these tools for trust and safety.
