Pros

It's Google, what else can you say, man? If you are a programmer who grew up around the same time as I did, this is your dream company for the longest time.

Cons

It's not as elite as it was 10 years ago. As it's getting bigger, Google starts to lose some founding cultures and is becoming more like any big company.
