Pros

As a software engineer, one reason to go to Google is because they have some of the most impressive software and hardware infrastructure in the business. How do they manage to answer any question you can think of in under a second? How many computers do they actually have? How can you possibly manage so many computers? What does it take to run security for them? If you work there, you can (eventually) learn something about everything. And with hard work you can have a huge impact on this amazing system.

Cons

The company is big. Really big. It has struggled for years to maintain a "startup-like" environment, and in many areas it succeeds. But as the company scales there are more frequent instances of internal politics guiding decisions instead of pure technical merit.

Pros

Surrounded by hard working, smart, professionals. Fairly flat structure. Excellent work-life balance. Room for growth. Pay is sometimes way above industry standards when bonuses and shares are taken into account. Pay increases considerably year to year for good performance. Of course, all the usual perks we know about.

Cons

It's a big company, so naturally there will be red tape to deal with. I sometimes wish I could be nimble.
