Nice company, but bad career path
Good work-life balance. You can easily stay at T5 while working 40 hours a week.
Technical depth. Google has many projects that are very technically deep.
Bad career path.
Most people stop at T5. To reach T6, you have to fight for leadership and ownership.
Communication overhead due to the sheer size of the company.
Personal growth. While you are exposed to interesting and technical deep projects, you are likely to get lost on how the entire infrastructure works. Bad if you want to build skills for running or joining startups.
