Pros

A lot of the coworkers are extremely smart. You are given lots of responsibility and you have the ability to work on new and exciting products.

Cons

Although it is not formalized, many people work long hours. Also, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or even out-of-place in the office. The standards are very high.

Pros

Benefits are the best. The work is fun and challenging. "Work the way you live" allows one to work from anywhere, anytime and using any device.

Cons

Long hours and stress can be high if you allow it to be so learning to pace yourself is important.

Pros

Food, tools, the deegre of being a Googler, etc

Cons

SMB is a joke, the managers don't even know how to use an excel spreadsheet or do a power point. Some of them might not even know the difference from CPA or CPM. Why they are managers? Simple as that, there are two heads that control everything and they promote people who praises them. One is ex photographer assistant who practices nepotism all the time and the other is a socialist. And why Google keep them there? Because you Dont need good people to do the work asked. Even monkeys could work in SMB Brazil. Google hiring bar has decreased a lot in the last few years, HR is doing a terrible job lately, skilled people Dont wanna work there. Why? Its not a good place to be anymore, the money is terrible and they try to sell you a glamour thing. Who lives on Glamour nowadays? Google Brazil and SMB are totally overrated. If you are a kid that wanna show off as the coolest hipster person in a fratty party, that's the place for you. If you aren't, its a trap.
