Pros

Opportunity to work with talented and smart individuals, and work on a product that has many users.

Lots of communities within Google, easy to meet people like yourselves outside of your team and cross-pollinate ideas.

Cons

Depending on your org, it can get highly political and bureaucratic. Feedback loops are slow and unhelpful (performance reviews happen once or twice a year and aren't actionable).

Advice to Management

Encourage more real-time feedback between peers and up and down the reporting chain.
