Pros

Google's an amazing company to work for - the perks are incredible, the compensation is top notch, your peers are all smarter than you, there's never a doubt when asking someone to do work *if* they can get it done, the question is how long. You could spend your entire career here and work on a variety of problems.

Cons

The company's bread and butter is advertising and it can feel hard sometimes to move away from that. You hear about amazing projects like self driving cars and solar roof maps, but in practice the day to day can feel like steering an incredibly slow moving ship whose cargo is advertisements and money.

Pros

The people can be the best in the world -- I loved every team that I was on.

Cons

Googlers can be the most entitled people, but if you choose your team wisely then it's not a big deal.
