      Good company, intelligent peers, and nearly unlimited ambitious and interesting projects to move between.

      Pros

      Excellent work environment, great perks, great people, changing society and technology, very innovative, trusting workplace. If you get bored with a project, the company has a million other cool and exciting things you can work on instead.

      Cons

      It's a large company, so there is some (fairly minor) bureaucracy. Otherwise no major concerns or qualms with the company.

      Fascinating Company, but Getting Larger Every Day

      Pros

      - Great talent - Fast Paced - Wonderful culture of innovation I have met wonderful people at this company who truly inspire. They are smart, efficient, and almost everyone goes the extra mile. It's a company that values kindness as well (Don't Be Evil!) The people who don't fall into this category are so rare that they almost become special in their own right- shooting stars of below-average performance. Most everyone is fantastic.

      Cons

      - Rigid promotion cycle - Visibility is very hard in such a large company The promotion cycle is very rigid, which isn't well aligned with the type of talent the company recruits (young go-getters who work hard but expect to see a correlation between effort and reward). Promotions do come but they are heavily relient on putting in a good amount of time first and being recognized by the right people. Managers really have to go to bat for their employees to get them promoted. Also, Google is becoming a much larger company. It prides itself on its start-up roots, but it's becoming more and more hierarchical, with less and less opportunities to move up or sideways in the company.
