Pros: Very dynamic environment. Meaningful tasks. Interaction with most of the engineering team, on and off site.

Cons: Lengthy transition from academic to industrial environment, considering that internships are usually short contracts.

Pros: Nice people to work with.

Cons: Easy to replace, as the team is full of superstars.

Pros: - Really fun place. - Very good benefits (free food, gym, massage, monthly bus ticket, events). - Smart people all around. - Good SWE practices. - Good compensation and good career opportunities.

Cons: Everyone is on their own (no teamwork), and your teammates really don't care about you (although they try hard to look like they do, which is "extremely" bad). Google becomes the only thing in your life after some time; they try to make you live on campus by strategically providing everything you need, resulting in a bad work/life balance. People are not passionate about what they do; most of them are actually bored, which affects you as well after some time. Most projects have little impact or provide little real-life value. All in all, it's definitely not a place for people with an entrepreneurial mindset.
