Great food, work-life balance, and the pay is very good. Documentation is great, and the code is very clean.
Other companies I worked at, I noticed a much larger degree of messiness, which is normal for a fast-growing tech company. But at Google, all code is reviewed extensively. Best practices are hammered into you, which makes understanding existing code so much easier, at the cost of code reviews taking very long sometimes.
Most people there aren't passionate about their responsibilities. You're a cog in the machine, which is the same at any big company. I prefer startup culture, where each individual's work is more significant.

The process was long, but the interviewers were friendly. This is my first internship, so I can't compare, but it was a relatively smooth process throughout, despite what some other folks have said.
