In our Sydney office, our Software Engineer graduates get to work on products like Google Maps, used by a billion people around the world. In fact, a graduate worked on Google StreetView as a project, giving you the chance to explore vibrant panoramic views of places worldwide from the underwater imagery of the Great Barrier Reef to your own house. Now, this former new grad leads a large global team on Google Maps, a product that allows you to navigate your way around the globe by driving, public transit, walking, cycling, and even by Trolley Car in Nepal.

Other Software Engineer graduates get to build crisis maps that are used in times of natural disaster, helping people find and use critical emergency information when they need it most. And they’re working on some of the world’s coolest technology challenges, like how to make cars smarter or build products for the next billion users to come online for the first time.

Our Business graduates shape how new and existing business grow through their knowledge of online media combined with their communication skills and analytical abilities. They set the vision and the strategy for how our clients’ advertising can reach thousands of users. They are the face of Google!

At Google, all of our graduates get the chance to make a positive difference in the lives of millions of people every day.

What Graduates Say About Them
  • The best thing about working at Google is the People. As I have never worked at company where I get to work with all sorts of cool and different characters across the organisation and across the world i.e. APAC, EMEA & AMER.
  • The engineering culture is awesome at Google. Everyone respects people's suggestions. Peers are always open to learn new perspectives.
  • Perks such as food, health insurance, business trips. Competitive salary and good reputation. Managers really look after you.
  • Flexibility in everything. Everyone respects your schedules. You can basically do whatever you want to work in the most efficient ways. Most of them, you can also choose what you like to work on.
  • Nearly-complete ownership over a portion of a project, meaning I am in charge of adding new features (coding/implementing) to the portion and maintaining it (debugging).
  • Sometimes my role can be quite challenging, but I guess at the same time, it's pushing me to continue to be better!
  • Slow pace, have to work around different time zones.
  • Ramping up, steep learning curve. There's lots to learn.
  • I had to relocate for the job.
  • Travelling to my office is a bit difficult.
