      Pros

      Google is the most fun and rewarding place I've ever worked. There are cool problems to solve and you're encouraged to solve them. Engineers get tons of freedom to do the right thing and the tools and infrastructure to support you are second to none. Beyond that, Google generally seems interested in keeping their employees happy and healthy -- for the most part, work hours and workload are sane. It's easy to eat healthy food. There are on-site gyms in most locations, or at least subsidized health club memberships.

      Cons

      As at any big company, there are political battles. Sometimes grungy engineering work gets ignored in the face of shinier/sexier stuff (but I would say that is well-known, hard to fix, and actively being worked on).
