      *Perks *Brand Name on CV *Has long-term potential if it can become a real company and not a startup anymore *Some really smart people can be found

      Cons

      Reorgs every 6 months regardless of departmental needs. Getting promoted on merit is near impossible. Zombie projects are the norm. Lots of people trying to steal your ideas and backstab you for advancement opportunities.

      Pros

      great benefits amazing people to work with wonderful work environment amazing food! innovative work environment

      Cons

      Sometimes decisions are made top down with little to no involvement from middle management. Although they have peer recognition programs in place I don't think management does enough to recognize the efforts of their employees -- especially their managers. The extensive collaboration can at times drag projects out because everyone has to be involved and have their say in the project. As a larger company now -- Google seems to be far more process and structure driven -- partly out of necessity -- but it has changed the overall attitude and work environment.
