Pros

The line about working with systems at internet scale is absolutely true. You will work with more compute and network resources than anywhere else.

Extremely talented and passionate colleagues.

Cons

Working on outside fun projects outside Google can be difficult due to the fact that the company's research interests are all over the map. This can cause things you do in your own time to potentially be subject to the company's copyright, even if you never relied upon resources from work to accomplish them.

Advice to Management

Listen to employees more. We come from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds, and sometimes know our users better than you think we do when driving product management decisions top-down.
