Is it true that UX people have a hard time working for Google?
Doing good design is hard wherever you work. At Google, us UX designers are finding more and more opportunities to truly lead Product Design. One great example is our turn-by-turn navigation product for Android. The team was co-led by UX, Product Management and Engineering and has met with tremendous success and is loved by millions of its users.
Doing cutting-edge, trendily beautiful visual design is tougher at Google because we strip everything away to get you through your task as quickly as possible.
Now that more people have: HTML5 in their browsers, fast network connections, big screens, and powerful graphics rendering capabilities, you can look forward to much more innovation in visual design coming from Google.
So, to answer the question, Google is a great place for designers to build a career if you want to work on crazy ambitious projects and hard design problems.
