Pros

I came for "two years". I'm at Google over seven and counting. Great peers with a culture that fosters collaboration and learning from others. Lots of flexibility - working hours, working from home, team and product mobility. Competitive perks, benefits and compensation.

Cons

As the company grows there is more bureaucracy and formality, but still not as much for a company this size

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Google has an unwritten ethos to make the world a better place - not just "Don't be evil" - and that feeling is shared by most employees, who will complain to management if they feel that isn't happening in the context of some new decision.

Cons

Getting large, so it's hard to make a big positive impact
