Pros

Google is a great work environment. Of course, the food is wonderful. In addition, it is such a good opportunity to work with really talented people on interesting and difficult problems. There are team opportunities but also space for individual work. You can't beat the resources and access to data. There are many opportunities to build on work that others have done in order to enhance one's own work. Overall, a very interesting and exciting place to work.

Cons

Many people work very long hours, so it feels that you must do likewise in order to be considered a good employee.

Advice to Management

It was very difficult to get VPN access due to the extreme busyness of my manager.
