      Pros

      Great people that care, free food

      Cons

      "Hire the best people and give them freedom" is all talk from the head of HR. Make sure that your role is one with enough flexibility so you can enjoy the benefits of Google. Oh the irony that one of the most money-making units of the company is one of the least "Googley" in terms of freedom for employees and transparency of the role during interviews.

      Pros

      - Outstanding benefits, competitive compensation - Big focus on employee well-being and happiness - Great internal culture - Fantastic food, and 3 meals a day offered in major offices - Beautifully designed and fun offices - A huge amount of trust is placed in employees - Extremely transparent company - Managers aren't overbearing on things like work hours—a lot of autonomy - People are candid and direct at all levels without being rude - Challenging and interesting work - Tons of resources available to grow and learn new things - Google has a ton of money and is able to throw lavish events for employees - Google does actively try to be a good citizen in the world - Upper management takes employee concerns to heart and actively tries to address them - Working at Google = people throwing themselves at you to offer you a job

      Cons

      - Onboarding is a very steep learning curve due to all the jargon, internal tools, internal software tools/languages, and new processes to learn - All the home-grown stuff makes it hard to keep up with what the rest of the world is doing - Bottom-up culture promotes innovation but lack of enforced decision-making can make things messy internally (e.g. why Google has so many chat apps) - Engineers are the heart of the company and as such can be highly entitled - Typical tech industry struggles with building a diverse workforce - Everything you need is provided for so it's easy to spend your entire life at work - Painful promo process, hard to switch career ladders internally - Just slightly cultish :)
