Google

The open culture, smart people, great benefits, and all the perks make Google a great place to work.

Generous vacation time, free food and coffee, gyms, and the ability to transfer internally to other teams, including at any office in the world, make for a very comfortable and flexible work environment.

Google only hires great people and only has so many really interesting projects to work on that everyone wants to work on.

People still have to do the tedious work too, so you end up with a lot of people overqualified for what they're doing.

It's a very big company at this point and sometimes can feel like you're just one tiny person, oiling a cog of the machine.

The promotion process is a lot of work and doesn't always recognize great work properly.
