      Pros

      -My co-workers - working with smart and creative people -Great working environment and benefits -Academic environment promoting continued learning

      Cons

      -Lack of good managers -Very little promotion from within and internal movement -In more non-engineering focused roles, its more about how much you talk versus your results (I have seen many people who are actually not that great be promoted because they knew how to talk to the right people)

      Pros

      Google is in the process of changing the world, or more specifically, how the world uses information. It has been a great pleasure to see this process take form and execute over the last 3 years. The career advancement is good and there are plenty of opportunities to showcase you talent. This can be a double edged sword if you trip up but since you have to be pretty good to get in at Google then that shoudl not be a major concern.

      Cons

      There is a sense of intense oversight at Google where every move is analyzed. Plus, if you are not based in Mountain View then you are a second class citizen.

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Google are the benefits. First of all, we receive three delicious meals a day! Secondly, Google goes out of their way to make it a fun place to work. From the beach volleyball court to the swimming pool, there is always something fun going on. I also enjoy the autonomy that engineers receive.

      Cons

      Your career is in your hands. One downside of little management is the fact that no one cares about your professional development. If you can manage this yourself you'll likely do well. If not, you probably won't get promoted.
