      Pros

      Work with smart people on projects that are changing the world. Future thinking and innovative, always something that will surprise you. Great benefits and life experiences. Everything you do gets noticed in the press. Fun that family/friends know where you work. Campus is like college, there are activities for every interest and all kinds of interesting people to meet.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy of a large company. Lots of scrutiny in the press on anything Google does.

      Pros

      - Brilliant people: I have tremendous respect for my co-workers and management in the organization. - Autonomy: my manager gives me the flexibility to define solutions and operate within my role. This gives the room to be creative, to learn, and have significant responsibility. -Work/Life Balance: while it's up to you to preserve this and it's easy to get sucked into late night emails, you have the flexibility to work whenever and wherever as long as you meet you responsibilities. -Perks: more extensive things have been written on this, so I will briefly and simply say that it's all true. The perks definitely make life easier and make you feel appreciated as an employee.

      Cons

      - It is a large company, so the scale means development will be slower, albeit still proceeding at a much faster pace than at comparably sized company.
