Pros

Great pay, work whenever convenient for you. The free food is simply amazing. Lots of perks like massages, micro kitchens, tech talks. The tech stops and hardware depots are great assets, you can go pick up headphones or a new keyboard and mouse for office use. The work place is very open, interaction with other employees is very easy. It is filled with very intelligent and fun people. The company is very open, you can ask questions directly to the CEO or Founders during TGIF question and answer sessions. Interns don't get nearly as much perks and benefits as full time employees, but that's expected. Google probably has one of the highest pays for interns. It is definitely one of the best places to work at.

Cons

Promotions don't seem to happen too often due to the fact that there is very short chain of command and little bureaucracy.

Pros

The benefits are the best. Free gourmet food, a great gym, subsidized massages, trips to disneyland, etc. The people you are working with are some of the smartest around.

Cons

If you're not a idealistic liberal democrat who is born to buy in to the "googly" attitude then you might feel out of place here. Google seems to hire people who fit into that mold, and if you deviate then you are seen as an outsider.

Pros

There are many things to highlight here: the talented people I work with; the perks (there are really good stuff here, life a awesome health insurance, gym, plenty off food, etc). And why not mention the prestige to work on such famous company. This can really open a lot of door both currently and in the future.

Cons

The amount of things we have in our plates. The workload seems to be overwhelming now and then. Sometimes it is difficult to find the balance between you personal and professional life. But the company has been working hard in this issue to.
