Pros

There are so many people who are recognized world-wide and have their own Wikipedia page that you can meet while working at this company. There is also a death benefit, which is when a Google employee passes away, their stock vests immediately, and their surviving spouse receives 50% of their salary for the next 10 years.

They really do want to take care of you.

Cons

This is just the inevitable problem associated with companies that amass a large size and establishment in the market, but it's hard for employees themselves to innovate. Also, there are just too many over-qualified employees at Google who are relegated to simpler roles.

Advice to Management

Regress to the original organization of a startup: zero committees.

Everyone must have a voice in innovating.
