Pros

Great attitude towards customers at all levels and all job functions, resulting directly in very happy customers.

Very smart colleagues. Fun atmosphere. Excellent tools. People do try to do the right thing.

Cons

Having very smart colleagues means it is harder to stand out.

While pay and stock grants are pretty good, other benefits are basic. The company maintains a culture of disciplined spending/frugality. I don't really think this is too much of a problem, although other people seeking the "Google" perks will probably be disappointed.
