Pros

Google is still overall a good place to work. It is not the great place to work it once was, but it's not the worst by any means. As it grows, it has lots of big company BS and politics that come with that. If you think Google will make everything you hate about working in corporate America better, you will be very disappointed.

Cons

It all depends on your immediate team and manager. Google is so big now that anything you say about them is not true of a different area, good or bad.

Google wants everyone to live in Mountain View or New York with a total disregard for their ability to afford to live there.

Advice to Management

Stop making everyone live in the most expensive places.

Find the bad managers and weed them out.
