The office is too small. It is like working for a family-owned business, so include all the cons of that.
Many people quit or are laid off in their first or second year. So think about that before moving your life to that city. There is no other relevant software company there.
Many extra hours are required.
Micromanagement is present. It was the only job I ever had that my manager came to my desk and complained that I was not typing.
Not much is going on. Since the office is small, you don't have many projects to choose from, if you could choose.
There is no mobility. It is the only Google office in Brazil to have software engineer positions.
Forget about 20% projects, unless you use your "free" time for that.
Try to apply Google's core values and principles.
The interviewing process was extremely long (6 months), and there was almost no feedback about my candidacy status. I thought that I was discarded during the process, but I actually got an offer, and they refused to negotiate.
It is a very interesting process. There were two technical interviews, where they asked technical questions that should be answered by coding a solution in your preferred language (usually C, C++, Java, or Python).
Phone interview and on-site with 4 Googlers. Some of them went really well, and others not so much. Ended up not getting an offer, but the overall experience was nice. The recruiter took too long to reply about interview results.
