      Dead end, But the perks disguise that fact nicely...for a few years

      Pros

      All of the things you've already read about: Food, Dogs, 401k. Looks great on a resume: When you're ready to move on in your career, having Google on your resume in any context almost guarantees an initial interview just because folks are curious about Google and why you would ever want to leave.

      Cons

      No career development / ladder / useful feedback. If you're not Eng, you're nothing. FAIR WARNING: When you realize there is more to a career than free food and you start to apply with other companies you will most likely be asked if you know how to behave yourself / act like an adult / perform in a traditional office environment.

      Pros

      The work environment and the benefits are legendary and are really as good as everyone says. The *free* food is phenomenal, although I must have put on a stone and a half in my time there! The culture is exciting, the work interesting, and you really do impact millions of people around the world. Many events and theme days make going to work fun and it's really much more than your average company. Still proud to say I worked there

      Cons

      An expectation that you will work all hours of the day - breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided for a reason. Not the best salary in the world, but everything else that's great about the place makes up for that. There's a bit of "that's not out remit" discussion between departments, which can lead to things not being picked up.

      Pros

      - Great array of internal learning resources. - Great internship program, a lot of interns for all over the world. - Great place to meet other smart people and make new friends. - Great food, and there are many fun events throughout the summer.

      Cons

      - Most tools used are internal-only instead of open-source, so you may not gain a lot of transferrable skills. - Big company, not a lot of transparency and can't make a big impact.
