      Pros

      About 5% of employees can hope for a "promotion" - to a special point of contact related to internal issues/mentor. That can help your future career (it did help me and some other ppl I know). They pay is not bad and if you are smart enough you can easily hit the highest bonus.

      Cons

      The Google Maps project cannot be compared to the actual Google company. Employees are hired through agencies and there is no contract extension after 2 years (no exceptions). The food provided is limited though better than in other companies. I feel like the company uses your talents (leadership/attention to detail etc), gives you additional projects (=hope to get an extension, a lot of attention) and than lets you go without even blinking, replacing you with anybody else. This can be frustrating. Another con is the lack of flexibility reg. time management-you can never work back even 15 minutes.
