Pros

+ Larry wants us to keep the soul of a startup, even though we no longer are one. In some teams, like the ones I've been on, this has been possible - going from an idea to millions of users on a new product in < 2 years. Twice. + Product areas work on complex problems with awesome technical infrastructure set up already! + Smart peers, awesome project, if you get lucky or a particular team wants you.

Cons

+ Not-as-smart peers if you are not lucky, and possibly less-exciting projects, too. In this case you need to pay your dues on that project for 12-18 months, before being able to transfer.

Pros

You work with very clever people on interesting projects. Everything is set up for you to be incredibly productive. The perks are also ridiculous.

Cons

There are pretty much no cons.
