Pros

Work on projects that affect millions (or perhaps billions) of people. Work alongside smart, motivated people. Well-paid and lots of benefits.

Cons

Google is big and is only getting bigger. It may be hard for some people to feel that they are having impact on their project. There is a lot of politics and managers are jockeying for position. Individuals who perform well are promoted to people management roles even though they may not be the best at nurturing and growing their direct reports.
