Pros

Amazing people and technical challenges are two of the best reasons to work at Google. I am always astounded at the people that I work with, and the technology that I play with.

Cons

We are smart people - we can be more democratic with internal company spending.

Pros

The culture, the perks, the brilliance of the people around you. Google gets a glowing reputation, and much of it is justified: yes, there are massage chairs, aquaria, nap pods and free food everywhere. It has an enlightened, "Star Trek" sort of feeling with regards to money and advancement: people are expected to be happy working hard on the things they love without regard to title or compensation.

Cons

Echoing much of the above: weak middle management, feedback/review, and career growth potential. A young, sometimes immature company. Most of the managers are there because they were there early. And they aren't leaving. And they really don't care, since they've already made their millions.

Pros

The hours are extremely flexible and work is completely online. This job was great because I did not have to spend any money on clothing, food or transportation. The pay is much higher than other online jobs and the work is comparable. Google is a great company and is a company that you can be proud to work for.

Cons

Feedback for quality and productivity is not very good and can be downright frustrating. Google does not tell us how we are graded so it is difficult to fix whatever was wrong in the first place. Another problem is that the response time for emails is a bit long.
