Pros

Google is a great work environment. Of course, the food is wonderful. In addition, it is such a good opportunity to work with really talented people on interesting and difficult problems. There are team opportunities but also space for individual work. You can't beat the resources and access to data. There are many opportunities to build on work that others have done in order to enhance one's own work. Overall, a very interesting and exciting place to work.

Cons

Many people work very long hours, so it feels that you must do likewise in order to be considered a good employee.

Pros

Free Food, shuttle, smart prople, other perks.

Cons

There isn't really a lot of room for advancement. When you start at the company, things are great, but after a couple of years you'll realize that you'll probably be stuck in the same job for a long time.
