      Pros

      Food is good (Really) Pay and Benefits. These are about the best things I can say right now.

      Cons

      Clicks!! A bunch of geeks who have no idea how to handle "Real Life" issues. Procedures are very monotonous. My day consist of filling out the same form 5 different ways which takes up about 3/4 of my 8 hour shift. Never have I seen such inexperienced management get paid for doing nothing.

      Pros

      Access to internal knowledge bases, opportunity to work with some major engineering celebs, bleeding edge infrastructure, a lot to learn from the experience.

      Cons

      If you care about your professional relationships more than computing then go work somewhere else because many people you'll meet there are brainwashed beyond recovery and in the long run it's hard to put up with. Career opportunities are a myth.

      It's becoming a place where most people are treated like servers -- interchangeable and replaceable.

      Pros

      In the right Eng group, young engineers will learn a lot. The food is good. The bicycles are handy.

      Cons

      For more senior people, odds are, you're going to be waiting a long time for any kind of promotion. You will also be way older than most of the people you work with, and your manager may or may not understand family commitments. (Google in general does.) Your manager may or may not care about you. If you get a good manager, great. If you get a lousy one, it may or may not get fixed in any reasonable amount of time, and it can be hard to transfer out if you're having any difficulty with your manager. I had the worst manager of my 30 year career there, and should have just quit after I figured that out.
