Pros

Culture - there really are amazing people working at Google and the culture seems to have been deliberately created to make a stimulating, team-oriented environment. Benefits - the benefits are top notch from free meals, to stocked up snack rooms, to excellent 401k matching and flexibility as far as work-life balance. As the company's matured over the last few years, some of the more extravagant things are getting cut out however.

Cons

Ambiguity - it's still a young company and the transition from on-fire web start up to mature company with Q/Q responsibilities to shareholders isn't entirely clear. As a result, you have to be comfortable with an unclear career path. Management Divide - I don't feel that management involves employees further down the chain in company-level strategic decision making as much as they should.

Pros

I worked doing QA for Google in a part-time telecommuting position. It was great because the work was interesting and I could work the hours I chose, any time of the day or night. Because I was strictly a telecommuter, I had no added expenses for gas or business work clothing.

Cons

For my particular part-time position, the number of hours I could work varied from week to week depending on the amount of work the company had available. Some weeks the number of hours available were pretty low. The biggest downside for me is that Google will only let you keep this job for one year. I really enjoyed the work and would still be doing it if they would let me.
