Pros

What they say is true. It's a great place to work. Compensation and work/life balance are excellent. Colleagues are top notch engineers. Decision making is mostly sound.

Cons

Google has become a bit overly politicized. Communication over internal messaging often carries a disrespectful tone. People pass this off as openness and transparency, but this stuff could be communicated much more professionally. Blunt is ok, rude is not. All that said, the culture issues are macro-level - within teams people are almost always respectful of each other. Quite a good environment.
