      Pros

      Fun work. I spend most of my time on pinterest and online shopping sites. You can create your own schedule.

      Cons

      Very very difficult to get in touch with anyone when there are technical issues. Not a lot of guidance from staff. Old training documents used and you have to scour message boards to see if they have been updated. I have been working for 4 weeks and have not been able to track any payments. I don't know if it is a technical issue or if the algorithm doesn't deem the hours I put in worthy of pay.

      Extremely long hours. Your co-workers are only in it for themselves.

      Pros

      - Free food - On-site Gym - Everyone will like you more because you work for Google

      Cons

      - Everyone outside of work won't stop asking about Google - All of the free food and dessert will make you fat - Co-workers with a god complex everywhere. They're all at the top of their games with little humility. You will get lonely. - Minimal chance for advancement - Everyone is on edge here. No one can relax. You will get lonely. - My co-worker insulted a Chinese co-worker all the time and no one said a word which is indicative of the culture here. - Long commute times on the over-packed buses akin to taking two coach flights per day on the smallest airplane. - Outdated equipment - Broken toilets everywhere. Broken bikes everywhere. Everything is broken. - Knowing that this is the best job on that planet makes all of this even more depressing - The Google exceptionalism mentality permeates everything and everyone here. - Low wages compared to competition - I could go on and on
