      Pros

      Google is a great place to work if you want to be surrounded by smart and talented people. Employees have a lot of freedom, and the benefits are great. There's free food , free laundry, and even a gym. Your coworkers will be very intelligent. You are also given good training and the schedule is flexible. The pay is also very good.

      Cons

      The atmosphere can be stressful, and the culture isn't for everyone. Although being a Gogoler is fun, recruiting is not the most riveting job, and promotins can be arbitrary. Good for short term, not good as a long-term career prospect.

      Leave your toy grad school projects behind and build real systems with serious resources behind them.

      Pros

      Google is where you can put your academic toy grad school projects behind you and build real systems with serious resources behind them. You work with really sharp coworkers on projects that can impact millions of people all over the world. If you're self-directed and curious, you'll find no end of interesting problems to work on. Compensation seems reasonably aggressive in rewarding high performers.

      Cons

      Office layout can be pretty packed (5 engineers to a office hut at times). Some projects are not as glamorous as other projects. Perks are on the decline due to the economy (but they're still pretty ridiculous relative to other places).
