Pros

Interesting problems at Google scale. Great, smart work colleges. My team is small and focused. Great benefits.

Cons

Google is a large company and occasionally the bureaucracy that comes with this seeps through to my work.

Pros

The work is interesting, and not tedious or boring. The expectations are not unreasonable. There is room to grow, ands expand ones skill set using the 20% time. Coworkers are amazing and one learns a lot. Perks are pretty awesome

Cons

It is hard to get noticed. The imposter syndrome is strong. Promotions require extraordinary work. It really pastas to be self motivating, and self promoting. You need to get decent per reviews from your co workers

Pros

Great colleagues, competitive pay, industry leading benefits, nimble for a large company. The company is pursuing very lofty goals and really leading the industry on a number of fronts. After 8 years, Google is still a great place to work and I can't imagine working for any other company. The only thing that could pull me away would be to start my own venture.

Cons

Employees are almost exclusively from top tier universities and privileged backgrounds. Relative lack of intellectual and cultural diversity.
