Pros

Extremely innovative company culture.

Everyone is encouraged to take initiative and create something new.

Interns are treated like full-time employees and are given enough freedom to build their own project.

Healthy and tasty food for FREE!

Cons

Google is not the best hardware company. As an optical engineer, sometimes I need to run between 3 different labs in a day to get things done.

Advice to Management

Google is doing a great job in managing software engineers and their projects, but may need to pay more attention to hardware engineers.

For example, all courses for interns are aimed at SWE or the like, and I can easily get bored when lured to those courses.
