      Pros

      LV style Free Meal. Free Shuttle. Campus environment. Salary is so so. Best 1st job out of college.

      Cons

      Most of the Googlers have only been working for 1 or 2 years in Google. Still very young company. High turn over after stock option exercised.

      Perspective from a middle of the pack, both in terms of job level and employee count

      Pros

      The people are pretty fantastic, as are the perks -- food, HR really does have innovative ways of taking care of you, transportation options. Google has been willing to open up offices where its people want to be, which has been great. There is a lot of opportunity to travel, and communicate your vision to a wider audience. I appreciate some of the hard work that has gone into building the culture and Google tries hard to maintain that. There is a sense of legacy and that great things are yet to come. This is not something that is easily sustained, yet there is so much effort here, that it just might work.

      Cons

      Certainly it's a big company. It tries hard to not be. It tries to rekindle some of the old things that made it unique, but it seems like a lost cause for the most part. There is much less opportunity to shoot to the top. There is less and less exposure to people outside your organization and too far above your management chain. There is a lot of work to be done, and Google is pretty cheap about the way that work gets accomplished. It puts added burden on many people including engineers and lower level managers. Getting actual things accomplished and seeing how it fits into the company goals has been hard.

      Pros

      Google is a very nice company to work for. The company is very transparent about its policies and directions, and keeps every one up-to-date of latest development. People have strong ownership of things they do. And I feel that compensation is really good. The bonus is really generous (about 30% of your salary), and the benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      Benefits are excellent, but I think Microsoft's medical coverage is better, and Microsoft matches charitable donation up to 12,000 per year but Google only matches up to 3,000.
