Pros

Simple a great place to work. There are plenty of videos and articles about how Google is the best place to work, and it's all true.

Cons

None, at all. Seriously. If anything they provide such a great work environment that I don't want to leave... ever.

Pros

Cutting-edge technology, famous brand, good food. The good weather here in mountain view, ca is also a good reason. If you are tired with the free food here, go get some decent dinners in the Castro street nearby. You can also learn a lot from tech talks, open days, the moma, and the code tree itself. Google's code base may not be the biggest, but its quality is the best in the world.

Cons

it is a good place for college graduates but may not be good for ambitious people. The decision to quit is difficult because of the perks, the good food, and the admires from people around you when they know you are a googler. But there is a reason for so many talent people to leave this company ...
