Pros: Excellent culture, access to source code of most projects, and open borders. You can work on virtually anything you find interesting, and the job is incredibly rewarding.
Cons: The company is slowly, yet steadily, becoming more conservative in its approach.
When I first joined Google, the company was bravely exploring unknown areas. Now, we tend to focus on generating income. Promising projects are being canceled, and people are becoming less enthusiastic.
