Pros

Above-Average Pay Good People for the most part High-quality Ad Products to sell (relative to competitors) Solid 401k match and benefits Global work community Indirectly supports Alphabet's attempts to solve existential human challenges

Cons

Below average vacation days (inconsistent depending on country) Wolf-in-sheep's clothing managerial styles / psychological tactics Undeniable workaholic-culture, despite internal rhetoric to the contrary "if it ain't completely broke, don't fix it" mentality with internal/external products Under-staffed (at least in sales), resulting in excessively high client ratios Under-resourced, creating productivity and scoping dilemmas Advancement can be impossible if you are on the wrong team, at the wrong level, with the wrong manager

Pros

Broader company culture awesome, benefits top notch, insanely smart people

Cons

GCP politics are horrendous now, completely taken over by Microsoftees from c.2015 (the Ballmer years which wasn't exactly known for soft and fuzzy), tools and systems a real drag on productivity, everything gets pushed down to first line managers and field sellers to 'deal with'
