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.
