Pros

It can be an exciting place to work at. Google provides a level of complexity and scale not typically found at other places - which presents an interesting and challenging opportunity. You'll be surrounded mostly by people who are happy and passionate about their role.

Cons

The company is hitting a lot of growing pains with trying to overly formalize certain procedures making it incredibly bureaucratic and hard to get things done. What's making it all worse is that Google has begun hiring so many senior leads from other companies who have a toxic, bullying working style. Management does not know how to deal with - or just ignores - these issues. It's resulting in a lo t of burnout, people leaving / going on leave, etc.
