      Google is cool but over rated!

      Pros

      The Googleplex, the free food/drinks/snacks, cool t-shirts and hats, on-site gym & volleyball and the heated toilets. And of course to the entire world it seems like the "coolest" place to work on the planet, so it looks good on your resume. You will gain respect from peers because of the perceived difficulty of getting a job at Google... Smartest people in the Bay area in one place...

      Cons

      It is now a huge machine, a very political environment and very low salaries compared to competitors. Also, there are people there from the pre-IPO days who are only nice to their "inner circle" and should take their millions and go away!

      Great for world-shattering innovators, could be better for other indispensable employee roles

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interacting all the time with brilliant colleagues of high integrity and drive; strong push to innovate and change the world; excellent compensation and benefits; high openness and plenty of communication from senior management about all kind of company-strategy related issues, with lots of trust towards each and every employee.

      Cons

      Very hard to get promoted further from senior levels without world-shattering achievements (as there are few rungs on the career ladder); not much recognition for the indispensable jobs of maintenance and keeping things running smoothly (only drastic, revolutionary innovation is truly recognized and amply rewarded); too much love of risk-taking, too little budget control and financial discipline.
