Pros

The company sincerely works toward its mission to make the worlds information universally accessible and useful. It's big enough that there is bound to be a job that you like, if you're willing to put in the effort of searching it out. People are generally friendly, smart and fun to work with.

Cons

The company can sometimes seem inflexible, and not all parts of the company are as "Googley" as others. It's not easy to move around to different jobs or different divisions within the company - one must be very persistent to do so.

Pros

The people at Google are phenomenal - the smartest and most capable people I have worked with. And they're friendly and easy to work with too - very few jerks - everybody there is generally trying to do the right thing. Also, once you're in, it's relatively easy to move around - I have had three different jobs within Google

Cons

It's a big company - sometimes it is unclear how the different initiatives fit together. Also, because it is an organization filled with smart, competitive people who like to be the best, there is a culture of overwork that is hard to fight.

Pros

Just what you would expect- exciting, innovative and creative culture, it is Google people! Perks, pay and people are a plus as well.

Cons

At its core Google is just selling ads, which is less glamorous and intellectually stimulating than the other business lines that receive more press.
