Pros

Great transparency within the company where you can learn a lot. Abundance of great, intelligent people in the company. Lots of exciting opportunities within Google. Great benefits and perks. Employees are well respected by company.

Cons

Too Mountain View centric. Most key persons are in HQ and most important decisions are made there. It's a pain for offices to collaborate across timezones. For example, it's impossible for JAPAC, EMEA, and the US to meet together.
