Pros

teammates is of highest quality and integrity great learning opportunities to further personal career whether inside or outside google

Cons

pay structure is painful. the pay works out to be strong except that salary is only half of taxable income due to using stock bonuses as retention tools careers stagnate if not part of the "in-crowd" of favorited personnel

Pros

Compensation, benefits, perks. The people who work at Google is what makes the company an excellent workplace.

Cons

So much red tape and organizational complexity. Leadership failures often impact individual contributors (layoffs) instead of the VPs who make decisions that have wide impact.
