Unlike some other reviewers, I've had no trouble with movement around the company. I will say that I started Google with a particularly excellent and supportive team, which means I got very good peer reviews, which made transfers to other teams quite easy.
I've seen others who get unluckily placed in a hohum team and have trouble getting out.
I find work-life balance also quite reasonable, though it might help to be remote from the HQ.
Gets a bit political as you climb up the ladder. Not toxically so, but still annoying.
