      If you want to extend your university life, go to Google. If you want to build a good career, look elsewhere.

      Pros

      Amazing benefits, very qualified people (overqualified actually), relaxed work environment, very hard to get fired, always work in a global environment, lots of cross-team collaboration, lots of social events.

      Cons

      No career advancement, no insight into how your individual work ties into higher level strategy, lack of professionalism, strategic and organizational changes are executed slowly and ineffectively.

      Not so diverse

      Pros

      Good food, good perks, fun smart people.

      Cons

      They hire too many young overachievers - people who have only ever "shown aptitude for having aptitude", as that one writer said. So it feels like half of everyone is angry about learning what being in the workforce is actually like, and shocked that you don't get promoted for working 12 hours a day and having aptitude and a great GPA.
