Pros: In terms of good engineering practices, Google's a pretty good place to learn in.

Cons: Slower to get a promotion than other companies.

Pros: - An opportunity to work at one of the best companies in the world. - Ability to switch teams easily during the rotational period to get experience on different teams and projects. - Free access to amazing materials to help you grow as an engineer. - 8 weeks of training on good engineering practices and mentorship throughout the program.

Cons: - Some managers in the program may be new, inexperienced, or not technical. You will have to actively seek out technical career mentorship and wisdom on choosing teams/projects. - Working as a Level 2 engineer (Level 3 is entry level) when in reality all the code you are writing is at Level 3 and is being reviewed by Level 3 engineers and above. - Lower pay than new grad salary, but this will bump up after the program and you are brought on full time.

Pros: As a typical big software company now. It wasn't used to be.

Cons: more political than before, even engineering.
