Pros

Lots of smart people, fantastic perks. I learned more here than I have anywhere else in my professional history. The older teams, such as infrastructure and apps, have people that can teach you more in an hour than you learn in many places in your entire tenure.

Cons

Most of the technology is in-house, and Google faces problems no one else does, so what you learn is non-transferable.

Offices outside of Mountain View are treated very poorly.
