Pros

Benefits, Alpha/Beta testing products before they hit the market, working across multiple teams in multiple locations through video conferencing, youthful, young

Cons

Inexperienced management, cult-like internal 'droid' type mentality amongst workers, limited career growth, beware: 99% of job descriptions posted by Google are VERY misleading, take Ivy league and top 25 graduates and place in generic customer satisfactions roles on phones, absurd work hours (60 hr per week), too many people believe the corporate spin - remember - Money & other magazines give the top spot to whoever slips the most under the counter. Misleading motto: "Don't Be Evil"

Pros

- Lot of transparency for a company of its size - Super smart co-workers - Outstanding benefits, at least in the Mountain View office. - Innovation in several areas of technology. Not afraid to stand up to big telecom/government etc. in the interest of the common good.

Cons

- Growth within the company is difficult unless you're prepared to sacrifice personal life and sleep, or if you got in the company early enough to manage people who can implement your ideas. - Inconsistencies in pay within grades and across tracks often make me feel my PhD wasn't worth the N years of effort.
