Great Company. Team REALLY matters

Pros

Really smart people, great benefits, amazing level of transparency and access, people -especially at the top are really committed to "getting it right"

Cons

Essentially Google has more than a few terrible middle managers. This is mostly because the really great people will often leave for school or more lucrative opportunities (because getting promotions can be very difficult) and often the people who stay are those who bide their time and are solid but not rock start performers. So your Google experience will depend a lot on who your direct manager is...

Pros

There're several reasons: 1) exciting projects serving billions of users; 2) Good working environment; 3) Smart colleagues; and 4) fantastic food!

Cons

If you really want to have some downsides, there are 1) large company, the system is mature, you rarely have chance to play an important role in rebuilding the system; 2) hard to be promoted after senior, like a rest point
