Pros

Google is probably the best corporate environment to work in. A lot of opportunities to get exposed to things outside of your immediate job. Strong brand allows you to open many doors. Of course the perks have

Cons

Google is far from being a startup and it slowly becomes more and more corporate. Selecting a team and evaluating its culture before joining becomes more important to make sure your expectations match your team's.

Pros

Great perks, benefits, offices. Surrounded by smart people who are willing to do the right thing. Salary and benefits are competitive, although more companies are catching up on this front. Flexibility on time and location (i.e. work from home occasionally), depending on job and department.

Cons

Big egos, lots of brilliant technical guys who happen to be sucky managers, little regard for accomplishments outside the company (i.e. industry certifications), good people management in Engineering is still taboo (managers not interested in good people mgmt practices). Such a dynamic environment that feels like walking on quicksand, change fatigue quite common.
