      Pros

      They have some very talented staff that Is There just for the money. Great jingle commercials and good partnerships with product manufacturers, lots and lots of great backdoor deals.

      Cons

      6 bosses, one task, 6 different results. Horrible leadership and communications process. Internally dysfunctional and misleading. Additionally they don't honor written contracts to pay employees.

      Pros

      Build interesting software infrastructure in a company that values engineering. Work with really bright co-workers and build atop an awesome code-base.

      Cons

      Projects in Google can become very big very fast, as they should. But running very small experimental projects has become more difficult as the risk/reward equation has shifted more towards the huge expense of uncertainty given Google's large revenues.

      The perks don't justify the slow-moving bureaucracy, especially in HR

      Pros

      - Fun, incredibly intelligent co-workers - The perks, of course - Internal mobility to switch within the company

      Cons

      - Sloooow...doing anything takes two weeks minimum - Promotion process is byzantine and opaque. Years to get into management - Big-company atmosphere - don't be fooled by the "entrepreneurial culture". 55,000 employees doesn't allow for that - Stand-offish management
