Great place to work
Great place to work
Potential to work on products used by millions/billions of people.
Smart, friendly, fun co-workers.
Good compensation & benefits.
Fantastic internal development tools and learning opportunities.
It's huge, so on some projects, you can be a small cog in a big machine.
Nearly everyone is an overachiever, so there can be pressure to work long hours.
The biggest office is in Mountain View, where you either have to spend a fortune on rent and/or commute for over an hour. Most of the high-impact projects are centralized in Mountain View.
Recognize that not everyone wants to live in the Bay Area.

Phone screen followed by three more technical rounds and one behavioural round. The entire process lasted about two months. The interviews were 45-60 minutes long and sometimes could get rearranged last minute. Overall, the process was okay.

Very good interview process. The interviewer was on time, and basic programming questions were asked. The main topic was on algorithms and Python programming skills. I was asked to solve BFS and DFS, and also binary search.
