      It was a great company, but it's not for everyone.

      Pros

      Free gourmet food, coffee and beverages, great benefits, decent salary,

      Cons

      The place is a mad house. There are so many people every where. It takes forever to go anywhere and the elevators are paced during lunch hours. Most of the people are walking around in jeans and t-shirts with head phones on. If you like that than you like Google.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great work environment; - Great company to start a career; - Hard-working and like-minded co-workers + quite a good bunch of really talented people; - Competitive compensation package; - Glamorous company to work at; - Great products, so that makes you a natural advocate for the company; - Working cross-functionally.

      Cons

      - No career prospects unless you're already at a very senior role or you want to follow the "managerial path" -- not all people are tailored (or want) to be people's managers (only 34% of my former managers were), hence the bad reputation around middle-management; - Increasing workload as you progress in the role... ... which makes it hard to keep a work-life balance, specially when you're working across different time zones; - Given the extra hours you need to put in to do all the work, not so competitive compensation package after all... - Not so glamorous work for most people (Dublin is mostly a glorified call center); - Insane workload every couple of quarters, around each review cycle; - Too many unhealthy snacks around...
