Pros: Less workload, a high-quality team, an extensible webbed set of projects, great opportunities to learn, free 15-pound meals... many more.

Cons: None as such which can be specified in particular, as the industry is the best place to work at in the US and anywhere else in the world.

Pros: The company and most of the people here truly care about things, and Google takes every chance it gets to have a positive impact on the world.

Cons: Facilities teams make decisions that people don't like without clear explanation at best, and at worst, many contradictory explanations that turn out to be after-the-fact justifications.

Pros: Competent people. Enough resources to succeed. You have the chance to build products that millions of people will use, rather than worrying if you will be able to build something that anyone uses. Management is generally in touch and cares. Their opinions are sometimes wacky, but the fact that they know about every project and aren't being bamboozled by middle managers is a huge win as compared to most tech companies this size.

Cons: Politics have gotten worse. People have gotten more defensive in their decision-making. There's a disappointing lack of trust between employees that didn't exist in the past. We have hired too many people who are only interested in making themselves look good and have lost sight of what's best for the company as a whole. Management hasn't successfully recognized and fixed this in many cases.
