      Great if you do not work in the Data Center

      Pros

      Good work environment. Great People. Good perks.

      Cons

      Half of your salary is dedicated to your total employee compensation package. So the free food isn't really free. Your hopes of getting a promotion can change on a whim. Upper management is disconnected from the Data Center and have no clue or does not care about morale in this department. Many leads do not have a good work/life balance.

      Excellent pay and benefits. Commuting sucks.

      Pros

      Honestly, Google does almost everything within its power to attract and retain talent. Staff are generally paid well. Long tenure with the company generally means solid earnings growth. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      For folks working at the mothership and not living in Silicon Valley the commute is increasingly dire. Travel on tech shuttles from SF and Oakland now regularly takes 2 hours each way. Sounds like an overprivileged whine but it massively extends your workday and limits what you can do during the week.

      Pros

      Great salary, benefits and perks.

      Cons

      If you don't fit a certain mold, you will only go so far.
