      Pros

      The company is very transparent - you can get a good look at what is going on with nearly any project, and senior management frequently communicate about the direction and goals for the company. There are an amazing number of really interesting projects to get involved with, and lots of opportunities for education and professional development.

      Cons

      Google is big, so your impact often seems tiny with regard to the company as a whole. Things are gradually getting more and more bureaucratic, the pain of being a public company with profits to protect. You gradually feel less and less important to the company as time goes on, as the company grows to many 10s of thousands of employees.

      Work at Google and Change the World.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work at Google are: 1) You want to make a difference in the world, 2) You love a fast paced environment, 3) You love technology, and would kill to be one of the first to see and play with it. Yes, the perks are great but at the end of the day if your work impacts billions of people in a positive way, it all pays for any of the free gourmet lunches. Work at Google and be the envy of all your Friends.

      Cons

      Google is BIG! As much as they do not like admitting it, "There are POLITICS at Google" Much of how Google runs is based on favors or who you know. Also, there IS a developing Hierarchy at Google between the Project Managers and everybody else. Elitism is not an uncommon trait of Googlers who joined Google right out of college.
