Pros

Google has a lot of smart and nice people to work with. People work collaboratively. The company has many great benefits. It just feels like the company has hired the best people to work on all the benefits (401k, fitness, food, etc etc) as well.

Cons

Things can move very fast at Google, which means it can be somewhat stressed. It depends on the projects you work on, though.
