      Awesome work environment for flipping burgers

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work environment, smart people, unlimited toys and food. Freedom, no nickle-and-dime mentality. Additionally, the word "Google" looks REALLY GOOD on a resume.

      Cons

      You might get allocated to a position that is below or mismatched with your skills. Since the majority of their software engineers are PhD's, there are many PhD's doing things you don't need a PhD for -- "flipping burgers". Less opportunity for career advancement; managers tend to get hired externally rather than promoted internally.

      Pros

      Interesting software development projects and quality engineers.

      Cons

      Smaller office can be rife with cronyism and local management more concerned about their relationship with their superiors rather than their reports.
