Pros

Lots of freedom to work on projects and ideas of your own choosing. World changing projects - help improve products for millions of people. Great compensation packages

Cons

Google might not be the right place for you if you don't know how to navigate ambiguity and get things done with minimal oversight. Need to be able to influence across functions.

Pros

great perks, paid well, smart coworkers

Cons

The reward system is strongly biased toward 'launches', i.e. new features, new products. You can't get promoted by doing incremental improvements. But there is only so much new features/products really worth doing...So if you are the kind of person who likes to fix bugs, refactor bad code instead of inventing useless new features, this may not be the best place for you.
