Pros

The product my team is building is very important to Google.

I am very happy to work on this team with my smart and excellent peers.

If you are a new grad or need to spend time taking care of your family, Google is an excellent company in terms of WLB and cutting-edge technology. If you have something you are truly passionate about, go for it! Do not waste your valuable time for the work experience at a big name.

Cons

But Google moves very slow. All the things are about reliability and stableness, which is very important though. I haven't seen an exciting project for years.

The food is not good anymore. All-hands have been more and more boring. I don't buy the story the executives depicted. I doubt they believe in what they pitched.
