Worth the trouble
It's nice to feel like part of something greater than oneself. Google has a whole lot going on at any given time, and there is a strongly intellectually curious atmosphere among the employees.
The perks are fantastic, too. There is no easy nor compelling way to argue against free hot meals up to three times a day, and there's always something exciting, interesting, or intellectually challenging to work on.
The colorful and relatively playful atmosphere are also an excellent change of pace from the standard-issue dreary cubicle existence that plagues most office jobs out there in the US.
Long hours! Not the place for people who want to have a life outside of work, but then they aren't the type who wind up getting hired anyway.
More transparency would be nice!
