Pros

Great overall benefits and perks, you will work with a lot of smart people and get hands-on experience with a lot of new technologies, get the chance to work remotely across globally.

Cons

Management is kind loose in recent years, no clear direction. Some team may be doing a lot of toils, you may eventually burn out. Internal team transferring sometime are not that easy.

Pros

Some of the best people I've worked with. It is really nice to work in a place where people don't compete with one another and are willing to help you out even if it is outside their normal area.

Cons

Starting to be some cracks in the culture. Allegations of discrimination and retaliation. More secrets being kept. Some hamfisted changes by HR to the review process. Google is struggling to keep its culture as it changes
