      Pros

      It's nice to feel like part of something greater than oneself — Google has a whole lot going on at any given time, and there is a strongly intellectually curious atmosphere among the employees. The perks are fantastic, too — there is no easy nor compelling way to argue against free hot meals up to three times a day, and there's always something exciting or interesting or intellectually challenging to work on. The colorful and relatively playful atmosphere are also an excellent change of pace from the standard-issue dreary cubicle existence that plagues most office jobs out there in the US.

      Cons

      Long hours! Not the place for people who want to have a life outside of work, but then they aren't the type who wind up getting hired anyway.

      Pros

      You are surrounded by by brilliant people. The executive team truly believes in making the world a better place - and they truly do "care" about their employees. Depending on your actual department - I am pretty sure most people would agree that they learn more here in 1 week - then you would in 1 year elsewhere. Its a very forward thinking organization - that is never satisfied with how things went the last time - there is a constant drive to do things better than the last time - and that culture is great for personal development.

      Cons

      Not many I can think of

      Great place to work

      Pros

      The company is very transparent - you can get a good look at what is going on with nearly any project, and senior management frequently communicate about the direction and goals for the company. There are an amazing number of really interesting projects to get involved with, and lots of opportunities for education and professional development.

      Cons

      Google is big, so your impact often seems tiny with regard to the company as a whole. Things are gradually getting more and more bureaucratic, the pain of being a public company with profits to protect. You gradually feel less and less important to the company as time goes on, as the company grows to many 10s of thousands of employees.
