      Pros

      Benefits, salary and the physical office environment are hard to beat. If you fit in the opportunities for advancement are there.

      Cons

      I didn't like the atmosphere or the way people treated each other. It was extremely competitive and socially I felt like I was back in school (in a bad way!). The 9 - 6 day is too long (9 - 5.30 would be fair) and after hours work is frequently expected of you.

      Not what I thought it would be

      Pros

      Google had a good salary, not great, but ok for the present market. It's a company that is flush with money so there are a lot of interesting things to do if you can get on the right teams.

      Cons

      A very long commute for me, they should allow people to work all over the bay area. A lot of politics, 10 percent of the people are actually bright and know what they are doing, the rest just latch onto their coattails. The people prides itself on have very very very smart people; I didn't see that many such people while I was there. If you are not on the right team the work can be rather boring.

      Increasingly disappointing

      Pros

      Amazing perks. Improved work/life balance. Lots of internal mobility opportunities. Supports career/personal development with a multitude of internal classes and resources.

      Cons

      Increasing pool of ineffective and inexperienced middle managers. HR doesn't do anything perceivable to remove toxic employees (even ones who have a proven track record of questionable ethics/morality and embarrassingly low employee feedback scores). Lots of hierarchy. As a result, culture is quickly degrading.
