Pros

Free breakfast, lunch dinner, massages, weekly entertainment, free drinks and snacks. Game room. Scooters.

Cons

I didn't get the chance to select my own projects. It is mostly handed down to you. If you are new you get the not so good projects.

Pros

Lots of autonomy. Lots of product focus. They take focus on the customer seriously. Technology and engineer-driven culture where they aim to solve tough problems, not a lot of gimmiky product work going on. Everyone there is whip-smart and there isn't much politics.

Cons

All of the pros mentioned above are getting weaker as the company starts to plateau and tries to squeeze out more revenue. Product managers may be surprised at how little power they have relative to at other companies - at Google it is the engineers that really run things.
