      Pros

      Smart people, great benefits, company has a can do attitude. The company truly tries to do no evil seen it from the inside. Absolutely the best perks one can imagine. In house doctors, free food (really gourmet food), great technology and truly encourages innovation. People are in general respectful and work well together.

      Cons

      Sometimes bright people will complicate a simple problem and go into unnecessary complexity for speculative imagined reasons. Which is not desirable, makes systems unnecessarily complex. Management needs to put a roadmap before the engineer otherwise the rocket scientist engineer will starts to make the simple piece a complete rocket, which forever will need rocket scientists to maintain. Sometimes people forget the true genius is in embracing complexity only where it is needed.

      Great place to learn and meet people, but not the place to stay in longer terms.

      Pros

      You get to work with many smart and skillful people. This helps a lot to move on your project, learn new things, and make global impact. Also I get to work on the largest computer system in the world and I can learn all sorts of practical problems in this area. Third is the free food and perks. Every lunch and dinner is the time to social w/ your friends/coworkers at Google and you have 15+ cafeterias to iterate!

      Cons

      The one frustrates me the most is the (lacking of) promotion opportunities. I don't think anyone who advanced well here has a balanced work-life style and I think the problem is worse for non-Eng jobs. In fact I think many people plan to leave for this reason when revenue starts turning sour and perks start to dis-appear. The second part is we have too many small projects lead by direction-less management or are duplicating efforts. This used to work well and small 20% projects may become core products. But now the company is no-longer a mid-size nor a startup, we need well-planned projects with clear directions that envision the next 3 years, not the next quarter.
