Pros

Culture and people are the essence of Google. This culture fosters great innovation.

Cons

Change is constant at Google. We hire people who are flexible, but not all react well to change.

Pros

Lots of freedom to be creative and try new things. Best benefits on the planet. It's just like being in college, but without those pesky deadlines. Very stable job. Work/life balance is a viable option.

Cons

Frustrating because everything must be created from scratch. Experience is often seen as a handicap, because everyone at Google is smarter than everyone else on Earth and therefore whatever was done before is inferior.

Pros

Excellent work environment and coworkers. Everyone is really open and sharing and it is a great atmosphere. The company is also very open with everything that is going on,

Cons

Really none with the company, but living expenses in the bay area are crazy and although salaries are good they don't make up for the cost of living.
