Pros

obvious perks like food, gym, celebrity visits/talks, laundry, dogs on campus, etc

Cons

the managers from my experience did not know how to manage. they seemed like former engineers that were just given the title. No leadership, guidance, or followup throughout my year there. Also when it came time to convert me to full time, management failed and "forgot" to submit my application. Contractors overall seemed pretty unhappy even with all the awesome company perks. It just seemed like there was just some lack of respect for us.

Pros

Google is a good place to start work. There are many Opportunities to develop your skills, especially in the selling department.

Cons

Sometimes the management loses focus about the priorities and puts the wrong people forward for the wrong jobs. Having cool star trek names is not the only thing which makes a work place 'tick'
