      Good benefits, but a lot of things could be improved.

      Pros

      The benefits are the best. Free gourmet food, a great gym, subsidized massages, trips to disneyland, etc. The people you are working with are some of the smartest around.

      Cons

      If you're not a idealistic liberal democrat who is born to buy in to the "googly" attitude then you might feel out of place here. Google seems to hire people who fit into that mold, and if you deviate then you are seen as an outsider.

      Google is a nice place to work

      Pros

      There are many things to highlight here: the talented people I work with; the perks (there are really good stuff here, life a awesome health insurance, gym, plenty off food, etc). And why not mention the prestige to work on such famous company. This can really open a lot of door both currently and in the future.

      Cons

      The amount of things we have in our plates. The workload seems to be overwhelming now and then. Sometimes it is difficult to find the balance between you personal and professional life. But the company has been working hard in this issue to.

      Google is still a great place to work, flaws and all

      Pros

      Strong culture that treats employees with respect and highly values engineers. Openness of culture that includes access to the majority of the codebase as well as regular TGIF's on fridays where management shares what's going on across the company with all the employees and can include sensitive information. Political candidates all stop at Google for a talk including: John McCain, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and many others. Author talks with free books.

      Cons

      It's a balance, but sometimes lack of structure and processes is a hindrance to getting things done. Flat-ish organization leaves less room for traditional personal promotion.
