Pros

The people, the atmosphere, and the food. All three of these are unlikely to be duplicated anywhere else.

It is an extremely jovial and cooperative atmosphere, where there are bound to be experts in any topic you may want to know about. The food is awesome as well, but this is well known.

Cons

Can have long hours because you don't want to disappoint high-achieving coworkers.

Advice to Management

Although it is important to keep an eye on the bottom line in these tough economic times, it is also important to keep the things that make Google Google: the camaraderie, the smart people, the food, the technology, and the vision.
