      Pros

      Great people. Great food. Total innovation! I love working at a company that has so many cool projects. A true technology company that is building new technologies to give everyone in the world internet access. Most impressive management team I've ever worked with. The management team including founders and CEO are aware and care about everything that is going on within the company. They are willing to take risks that keep things interesting.

      Cons

      Long hours, millionaires can be difficult to work with. People outside of Google think that the company is all fun and games. Google is an aggressive company that will change the world in the next 10 years.

      Pros

      -My co-workers - working with smart and creative people -Great working environment and benefits -Academic environment promoting continued learning

      Cons

      -Lack of good managers -Very little promotion from within and internal movement -In more non-engineering focused roles, its more about how much you talk versus your results (I have seen many people who are actually not that great be promoted because they knew how to talk to the right people)

      Pros

      Google is in the process of changing the world, or more specifically, how the world uses information. It has been a great pleasure to see this process take form and execute over the last 3 years. The career advancement is good and there are plenty of opportunities to showcase you talent. This can be a double edged sword if you trip up but since you have to be pretty good to get in at Google then that shoudl not be a major concern.

      Cons

      There is a sense of intense oversight at Google where every move is analyzed. Plus, if you are not based in Mountain View then you are a second class citizen.
