Pros

Google employees are motivated by the fact that they believe their work has a positive impact on the lives of others, according to Dobroski.

"My work is used by lots and lots of users," wrote a Google developer advocate working in the Mountain View headquarters. "It's cool stuff that makes people happy."

Cons

“For many people, the worst part of working at Google is that they are too qualified for their work,” you can read in a comment. Also, according to the text, Google has a lot of power when hiring due to the ranking of its brand, the salary, benefits, and its positive culture of work.

“The worst part about working at Google is that it may require, without realizing it, most of your time and energy,” says a former sales clerk. “If you don’t demand yourself where the boundaries can be, it’s very possible that Google will quickly become your life.”
