Pros: Very good for overall development.

Cons: No cons at all, I guess.

Pros: Nice food, work, skills, people.

Cons: No such concerns; nice place.

Pros: Pay and benefits Flexible work from home

Cons: In spite of Google's quirky reputation, it's a massive company with all the red tape, processes, layers, etc., typical of big companies. As a result, I've found the process of writing software here to be exceedingly tedious, as my time is swallowed up by learning internal tools and standards. There is no semblance of a "start-up" or "hacker" environment. If you need an environment that is engaging, fast-paced, multi-faceted, and gives you the ability to solve higher-level problems and use creative skills, you will likely find the work environment here to be suffocating.
