Pros

- high impact projects/teams - smart people - lots of projects and mobility between them - perks/benefits are amazing (12 weeks Paterntity leave?!?!) - don't be evil is still very real (at least better than many big companies this size), though there are obviously varying opinions in 100k employees

Cons

- everyone is so smart, it's hard to stand out - expect high-level of efficiency/productivity - harder for low-level engineers to have high individual impact (you get impact by working on projects that have LOTS of users)

Incredible people, amazing tools, fantastic scale - and of course there are great things too like free food, and other perks

It's harder to make a big impact now that the company is so large
