Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues, competitive pay, industry leading benefits, nimble for a large company. The company is pursuing very lofty goals and really leading the industry on a number of fronts. After 8 years, Google is still a great place to work and I can't imagine working for any other company. The only thing that could pull me away would be to start my own venture.

Cons

Employees are almost exclusively from top tier universities and privileged backgrounds. Relative lack of intellectual and cultural diversity.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation package, flexible hours, some very smart people to work with, interesting projects at large scale if you are lucky.

Cons

Google is a large multinational company with all the bureaucracy and inertia that implies. If you get a decent manager and an interesting job it's alright. If you get a bad manager that could make your life very hard.
