Pros

Great workplace as must be unanimous. Google knows how to take care of its people.

Cons

Some of my subordinates felt I was trying to one - up them when I was in fact sending in my reports 2 days late (?!) . However, the antidote to this was my awesome manager! The basketball/ football tournaments are taken far too seriously by some! The HR was just not ready to take my exit interview as I had some clear words to say about my team! He ended up just rejecting my calls while I was waiting for him for hours together on my last day!

Pros

Best place to work, open culture, friendly people. Open platform to experiment and juggle between projects. The company really cares for its employees in every possible way, which makes it easy to extend working hours and contribute more.

Cons

Google shouldn't be your first job as the benefits can be taken for granted. The longer you work, the more difficult to leave the comfort zone. Long term growth opportunities are limited but the overall benefits keep you attached.
