Pros
-Your mom will be impressed -Easy money, free back rubs -You can leave for hours at a time and no one will know -Work with nice, smart people who also went to Stanford -Improved patience dealing with horrible traffic to Mountain View, slow bureaucracy -Do they add MDMA to the mint spa water in the cafes? You'll only know if you try!
Cons
At some point in your tenure with Google, it will become clear that you live in an organization that is engineered to keep you numb, well-fed, and scared of the outside world. (This maybe should be listed under "Pros", since you'll gain a sense of empathy for hobbits, cows and children in cults). You will cope with onsite yoga or by spending your bonus on new Teslas. The feeling will endure. The problem with Google is that it thinks it's Pixar (fresh, zany, innovative) when it's actually Disney (bloated, iterative, a little creepy). Do you have a really fat mortgage to pay off from that Mission fixer-upper? No? Then find a job somewhere where you'll actually use your brain and have an impact.
