Pros

great company that treats people incredibly well by and large. The quality of people you work with day to day is just incredible -- everyone you deal with is smart, competent, has some unique skill, and brings a lot of energy to the place. I believe in what the company is doing -- yes we want to be a successful business, but we really do try to make a better consumer experience in everything we do too. I'm stunned by the openness of the company -- good news and bad news is spread wide through various means. I really feel extremely lucky to be at Google, as silly as that sounds. I think it's gonna be hard to work anywhere else now.

Cons

it's intense -- at senior management level, I don't know many people who don't work crazy hours and still fall further and further behind

Pros

Working with talented, driven people who I can learn from every day Working in a place where I feel I'm making a difference. Working in a place where I feel I can express myself Great for the resume. I feel the experience I've had here will be valuable in the future I have had a string of excellent managers I get to say that I work for one of the most influential companies of our time.

Cons

It can be hard to advance from one level to the next Senior management can be very arrogant (I guess it's their prerogative) Everything is numbers driven, except when it's not
