Pros

-Great Benefits- food, gym, time off, good hours -Lots of opportunities for interns to sit in on meetings, get contact with higher-ups -Strong intern program in business and engineering -Can be proud to work at Google, your friends and family will recognize your achievement and looks great on a resume -Flexibility to work in different departments after a year or two with the company

Cons

-Actual day to day work not as exciting as it seems (lots of Excel, etc) -Lots of gossip inside and outside the company that account managers are just "glorified telemarketers" -Does not pay as well as finance internships though Google would like to compete with these sorts of internship programs at elite schools and campuses -Does not seem like a place you stick around too long; a young environment with lots of movement and attrition. -Recruiting process slow, flawed, and disorganized

Pros

Google has a fantastic engineering culture and an incredible practice of software development. Everyone in the company has something valuable to offer, and there's a lot to learn from the people and the organization.

Cons

Google is getting to be a quite large company. It's nearly impossible to know about everything that's going on in every organization. Furthermore, the love from the public has waned in recent years which can be a bit of a bummer.
