Not what it used to be

Pros

Comfortable, good place to coast and waste your life.

Cons

Career suicide, no meaningful work. Google is the new Microsoft/government job, bureaucracy to the very core. Your product/project will likely be cancelled, and it won't be a drop in the ocean. 95% of the staff is just reducing probable risk or cost or compliance work. Innovation is dead, and company is too marred by process to execute anything. Acquisition is Google's only remaining innovation strategy, which too takes 2-3 years. For those passionate about a tech career/impact I strongly recommend finding a real job instead (startup).

Google is Evil!

Pros

Free Food, Bonus, RSU, Nothing else

Cons

Google hiring is the most ridiculous process ever - Its a joke! they make you go through 3 months of crazy interviews with dumb questions. You keep your life on hold for things to pan out. Next they will downlevel you even if you do really well in interviews cus they want to low ball you! Interviewers dont want to see anyone joining from a non FAANG company at a higher level they joined! Once you are past these stages and are at the finishing line - You are told that the position is eliminated! You make things more complicated then they should be and exploit job seekers. Take this somewhere else - Pathetic!
