Pros

great benefits amazing people to work with wonderful work environment amazing food! innovative work environment

Cons

Sometimes decisions are made top down with little to no involvement from middle management. Although they have peer recognition programs in place I don't think management does enough to recognize the efforts of their employees -- especially their managers. The extensive collaboration can at times drag projects out because everyone has to be involved and have their say in the project. As a larger company now -- Google seems to be far more process and structure driven -- partly out of necessity -- but it has changed the overall attitude and work environment.

Pros

Management follows the model of the open source community, the attitude of everyone is very open. There are many well-known extras. You're working with people at the top of their game.

Cons

Some people still whine that they don't have enough extras. The workspace is very hectic and noisy. Sometimes things seem to move too fast in every direction.
