Pros

I've worked at Google for about 4 years now. I love, love, love it.

Smart, amazing people who get stuff done. The quality of engineers is on the decline lately, though.

Cons

Bureaucracy makes it much harder for products to get launched. Code reviews take a while. There is lots of self-entitlement among many employees.

Advice to Management

I don't really have that much advice. Raise the hiring bar for incoming software engineers. Consider firing people more. It's very hard to get fired; admit you made a wrong hiring decision and sometimes let people go.
