      Great for engineers, not so much for non-engineers

      Pros

      Great benefits and perks. Smart peers

      Cons

      Non engineers are not that respected at Google. Atleast not on par with engineers. Of course, this is true of any company where you join in a team that is not core team of the company. Too bad for the morale, if you are in a non-eng team. Also promotions happen very late and goes through a long stretched process involving a committee and is not that transparent.

      Horrible HR and way too many reorgs

      Account strategist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, free food, awesome trips organised by Google etc - mazing training resources such as "Googler to Googler" side project where you can teach what you know and sign up for classes where other googlers will teach you what they are good at.

      Cons

      Every 8 months a reorg will happen and you will have to rush to find another role. Hr will be absolutely useless and will not help in any way. If you like not having a job every six months, then you are in for a threat.

      Great people, great values

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits and care of employees is obviously world class, and compensation is almost unmatchable. But the company attracts some of the best talent and best people to work with in the world, which is the most important bit. Potential impact is always huge, and it's great to wake up in the morning and hear that the company you work for is going to try and defeat death, or bring internet in balloons to rural areas.

      Cons

      Google has gotten really large, and depending on where you are in the company, some bureaucracy and politics can get in the way. The company is very conscious of it, though, so it's less than you might see at other companies of this size. Launching is also the main emphasis -- it's hard to hire some of the brightest people in the world and ask them to just maintain some code base. Almost everyone is very entrepreneurial and always want to be working on new things, so maintaining things and following through of things can sometimes be difficult.
