Pros

Excellent first company to join after college.

Best launchpad for career.

Cons

Promotions are based on politics. For management & HR: Many TLMs pick favorites and reduce opportunities for others by restricting project allocations.

Encourage 6-month transfers to help employees find better and cohesive teams where they will happily remain and let others move. It will also let bad teams / TLs get smaller and atrophy, which is good for Google overall.
