Pros

Google is known the world over. It's probably the greatest spring board to your next big career. It's hiring screens are legendary - if you've once worked at Google, its known that you've passed muster at one of the most prestigious companies to work for.

Cons

Career advancement and career development at Google is challenging. Google is short on titles, erring to title beneath individual's experience. Navigating internal promotions is very difficult and finding the resources to set one's self up for advancement is realized only by the most political and resourceful.

Pros

the perks are the reason to work at google. the food, the shuttle, the casual culture, working from home, massages, etc. Typical PMM roles include: Product launch marketing: You'll ensure that all stakeholders (such as customers and the sales team) are informed about product and feature launches. You'll conduct market research, write communications, and do release planning with engineering, product management, and the sales organization. Field marketing: You'll devise marketing strategy and provide up-to-date market research to enable a true consultative selling approach for the field sales organization. This involves a lot of interaction with the sales and product management team, creative use and presentation of market research, and the ability to create true marketing solutions for customers. Consumer product marketing: Working with one of our portfolio of consumer products (such as Froogle or Gmail), you'll devise a plan to improve customer satisfaction or increase customer acquisition. This involves significant amounts of market research, product-usage analyses, positioning, and customer segmentation.

Cons

the culture at google makes it pretty hard to advance. the company is pretty bottom heavy and the top is controlled by a small group of lifetime googlers.

Pros

Free Food, shuttle, smart prople, other perks.

Cons

There isn't really a lot of room for advancement. When you start at the company, things are great, but after a couple of years you'll realize that you'll probably be stuck in the same job for a long time.
