Pros

Worklife was great. First and foremost - No micromanagement at Google. Planning was done very well by the PM, and ample energy was spent in doing quality work. Teams worked from all around the globe and that made the job interesting. Timings were flexi

Cons

No direct access to other teams. Feels like working in a vacuum. Quit after 4 months.

Pros

Great community and a great place to work. The benefits are top notch and the managers seem to generally care about the career future of their employees.

Cons

Work is all about self-starting, for good or for bad. If you don't try and create your own projects or find things to do, you will end up doing the things no one wants to do. While this is good for innovation, it makes the first few months on the job suck, as you won't know enough about the baseline to innovate anything.
