Pros

Google has the clout and money necessary to provide all the resources necessary to succeed.

Cons

I guess I didn't drink the Kool-Aid. Google has been a major success story in building the web into what it is today. However, most of the management and employees have fallen in love with their own intelligence. This is very bad news for the future growth of the company. Additionally, Google is very risk adverse no matter that they have a "moonshot" factory. They don't stick to their goals when there are set backs.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits (by far the best software engineering pay I've seen in the Boston area). Higher bonus and stock than anywhere else, too. Extremely competent coworkers. Some interesting projects if you look for them. Work/life balance (read as 40 hrs workweek) is doable but you may feel a bit guilty about it as many self-impose longer hours or at least check email at crazy hours.

Cons

Can be hard to feel like you're making an impact or get recognition in such a large company, especially a remote office. Most of the really interesting projects are in the Mountain View office. Kendall location is convenient to the T but not so great if you're looking to settle down outside of the city.

Pros

The work culture is excellent; being nice to others is rewarded socially, and economically. The projects are incredibly diverse, and challenging. And the compensation and perks are very generous. As the person leading the orientation told me on my first day: "We want you to be happy. If you're happy you're more productive." I'm happy indeed :)

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult, not necessarily due to management asking you to work off-hours, but because sometimes it's hard to disconnect.
