Best place in the world
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
November 7, 2008
Pros: Simply a great place to work. There are plenty of videos and articles about how Google is the best place to work, and it's all true.
Cons: None, at all. Seriously. If anything, they provide such a great work environment that I don't want to leave... ever.

Still a good company, but may not be the best anymore
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
September 12, 2008
Pros: Cutting-edge technology, a famous brand, and good food. The good weather here in Mountain View, CA is also a good reason.
If you are tired of the free food here, go get some decent dinners on Castro Street nearby.
You can also learn a lot from tech talks, open days, the MoMA, and the code tree itself. Google's codebase may not be the biggest, but its quality is the best in the world.
Cons: It is a good place for college graduates, but it may not be good for ambitious people. The decision to quit is difficult because of the perks, the good food, and the admiration from people around you when they know you are a Googler. But there is a reason for so many talented people to leave this company...
