Pros
You get to tell others that you work at Google. Hire smart, driven people. Health benefits, 401K matching, and other perks are amazing, namely the free food. Great office environment atmosphere. Overall belief in the company value and mission.
Cons
Most people are overqualified for the job they're doing; company re-structures all the time which leaves you feeling like nothing but a number. Promotions are not merit based; it's a waiting game. A lot of poor middle management, many slotted into management positions after re-structures. Chicago office opportunity is limited, not much outside of sales. You have to be a devout self-promotor to have your work noticed.
