About the Job
The Student Researcher Program’s primary objective is to foster academic collaborations with students through research at Google. Join us for a paid Student Researcher position that offers the opportunity to work directly with Google research scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research projects.
The Student Researcher Program offers more opportunities for research students to work on critical research projects at Google in a less structured way. The program allows for flexibility beyond the limitations of our traditional internship program on aspects such as duration, time commitment, and working location (with options for on-site or remote). The topics student researchers work on tend to be open-ended and exploratory and don't always have a clear deliverable as a traditional internship would.
Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we’re working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software engineers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

Pros and cons of working at Google AU
Pros
Not very hierarchical, every opinion is respected and heard. Strong focus on helping others in the team, and always very social, even with people I do not directly work with.
Free food, inclusive culture, knowledge sharing from seniors to juniors, private health insurance.
I am given a lot of autonomy to manage myself, even as a graduate, and work on what I think is needed for my projects.
There is the annual review cycle where you can self-nominate or your manager can nominate you for promotion. Plenty of opportunity to move up the ranks.
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.
Cons
Office located in a very strange location, requires a transport transfer (train/bus to light rail).
There is a fair bit of pressure to perform at a high standard, which can be tiring sometimes.
Slight job insecurity
Some teams are closer (more social) than others. In terms of socialising, some people disappear at 5pm, others stick around to play cards, pool, board games etc.
Many meetings
