Pros

Awesome food, great salary, wonderful coworkers. Lots of room for a self-starter to advance. Promotion can be quite rapid if you are determined and this is your goal. None of the cost/benefit approach to IT that you see at a lot of other companies.

Cons

Management can be clueless or absent at times. It can take a lot longer to get things done than you expect.

Pros

- Work is challenging and non trivial - Colleagues are smart - Working at Google is fun - Exposure to real users

Cons

Salary is lesser than what i want it to be. Even with recent salary hikes, i feel that working in remote offices is not beneficial.
