Pros: Free food, good benefits, good work-life balance, and most managers genuinely care for your growth.

Cons: Recently, the layoffs have left a bad mark on how Googlers think of leadership. The promotion/performance review process changed recently, where 70%+ of the company receives the same rating, with minor discretions within this rating. Compensation is to the point that it gives low incentive to work hard.

Pros: Good environment, and has great people.

Cons: Sometimes stressful, but manageable nonetheless.

Pros: Google is a great work environment. Of course, the food is wonderful. In addition, it is such a good opportunity to work with really talented people on interesting and difficult problems. There are team opportunities but also space for individual work. You can't beat the resources and access to data. There are many opportunities to build on work that others have done in order to enhance one's own work. Overall, a very interesting and exciting place to work.

Cons: Many people work very long hours, so it feels that you must do likewise in order to be considered a good employee.
