      Pros

      The rumors about the glamorous work environment at Google are true. You're in a comfortable workplace surrounded by the best people and practically smothered with perks.

      Cons

      The fabulous perks are there to keep the highly skilled employees complacent while they perform the menial, repetitive, labor that is required to keep the machine running. On any given eventing, many a Googler can be heard lamenting his/her under-stimulating project at any given Palo Alto watering hole.

      Making an impact on the world.

      Pros

      The Mission statement. The Leadership (Larry has done a really good job IMHO of focusing the company). The People, really smart, really nice, usually, there are a couple of bad apples, no system is perfect.

      Cons

      As the company has gotten larger (been there since 2007) politics has become more prevalent, especially over "control of binaries". Why build on shared platforms when you can't control it (I think it is silly). As you move up the ranks, work life balance gets really screwy as you tend to work with offices all around the world (at least in my case).
