      Pros

      It looks good on your resume. Additionally, everybody you speak with will recognize the company you work for, as it certainly has good name recognition. There are a lot of learning opportunities, and very intelligent people to learn from beyond the provided courses. Taking advantage of all of these resources is what makes working for this company worth doing, at least for a period of time.

      Cons

      All of the perks are designed to keep you at work longer, without additional pay. Additionally, promotion opportunities are generally available to those who kiss the right feet, not necessarily to those whom do the best work (or work the most efficiently).

      Pros

      The free food is good and better than what you have heard. It really rocks and I will really miss it. Also the co-workers I met were one of the brightest people (in software) around and it was charm to actually work and see what good coding is really all about. And its not just some stars - there are actually people who are really good and work together and the team as a whole contributes a lot towards the success of a product. Further the software infrastructure is the best among all the places I have seen and I have seen the better ones.

      Cons

      Its very easy to get used to the perks and if you join right after graduation - it keeps you stuck in college. This may not best thing in terms of future career development. You get used to the good stuff and complain for more and it can get very difficult to move on. I think the worst part is having a really good infrastructure to work with stunts your hacking skills which may not be a very good thing in general. I would advise working outside Google fro a few years and then coming back to really enjoy life :-P
