Pros
Awesome people: Google definitely has some of the best people to work with as well as to learn from. There are lots of opportunities to learn new things wether it's from tech talks, talking with coworkers or interaction with people from other departments. Everybody is friendly and the work atmosphere is casual and down to earth. Great Perks: Even working as a contractor, I've had access to free breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as access to the gym and shuttle service.
Cons
The only downside for me when working at Google was the long commute. Coming from north of Mountain View down the 101 South is usually congested with traffic. All the hours spent in traffic adds up and does take it's toll on you.
