      Pros

      Some of the best perks in the industry. Smart peers that can keep up with you. Offices all over the world. Flexible work hours.

      Cons

      The office politics are harsh. Not a whole lot of interesting problems outside of MTV. The size of the place may make you feel small.

      Still a great, but needs to adapt to being big.

      Pros

      A lot of responsibility. Exciting. Fantastically smart, capable, and fun colleagues. Great salary and benefits. Lots of international travel. Entrepreneurial culture.

      Cons

      In general: a lot of people are slacking at the moment. They don't really care about what they're doing. Company lacks proper processes, accountability, and avoids conflict to the point that it languishes dangerously. Company doesn't take Marketing as seriously as it could. At worst you're a service for Product and Engineering teams, a.k.a. you make cool videos for *their* products. Lots of ambiguity. Marketing Org not well organized. Everything last minute.

      Pros

      Google is probably the best corporate environment to work in. A lot of opportunities to get exposed to things outside of your immediate job. Strong brand allows you to open many doors. Of course the perks have

      Cons

      Google is far from being a startup and it slowly becomes more and more corporate. Selecting a team and evaluating its culture before joining becomes more important to make sure your expectations match your team's.
