Pros

Google is a pretty amazing place to work. They treat employees incredibly well, my coworkers are all talented, the problems are interesting, and the products I work on are ones that I use every day.

Cons

It is a big company, so things can be slow moving. On a technical level, there are a number of large complicated systems used internally, and navigating them can be a pain sometimes.

Pros

Great place to learn how to write good software. Relaxed work, my team didn't have hard deadlines. People are very friendly, and usually competent. Benefits are good.

Cons

The company is getting huge, which leads to complications. I felt like we were hiring too much, and it was sometimes hard to find meaningful projects to work on.
