Pros

Great work-life balance. Very friendly and cooperative colleagues, partly due to the way we hand out promotions. Internally rather transparent and management seems to listen to what we want.

Cons

There are many overqualified and hardworking people here. Just hard work alone will not get you anywhere. You need to source for good projects, work hard and smart in order to have decent career advancement.

Pros

Google is the most innovative large company that treats their employees well.

Cons

If you want to be part of a small company where you can know everyone individually, Google is not the place for you.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Depending on the team, work can be interesting. Usually everybody on the team is smart.

Cons

Stress of the job can be high, especially if there is management turnover and frequent changes in priorities. Feeling like I have to compete with team mates.
