Pros

Work with brilliant minds: Opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest engineers, analysts, and researchers in the tech industry on cutting-edge machine learning and statistical problems Technical product managers: PMs at Google are more technical than at other companies, meaning fewer requests for basic SQL queries or spreadsheet updates that should be PM responsibilities

Cons

Difficult to make individual impact: At such a massive company, it can be challenging to see how your individual contributions meaningfully affect the business or product Slow product release cycles: Despite working like startups, teams often face sluggish release cycles with long hours but without the agility and rapid iteration of actual startups
