The people here are smart and, for the most part, not arrogant about it. You work on code that a good proportion of the world uses and benefits from. Your computing resources are amazing. The scope of what Google works on is huge, and mobility between projects is pretty easy. Work-life balance is great. Management is technically savvy and treats their staff with proper care and concern.
