Google is honestly such a wonderful company, it will be hard to ever consider leaving. I'd advise Graduates who want to see more of the industry to learn their trade somewhere else, then work for the best!

Pros

You have awesome, competent coworkers. The challenges are huge and you have unique opportunities that are only available at Google. The compensation and benefits are excellent.

Cons

Blind allocation: Your initial assignment may have nothing to do with your interests or experience, and policy is that you must stay in that assignment for 18 months before you can transfer (though there are exceptions). Google's success makes it difficult to criticize; "How can we be doing it wrong if we're making this much money?"
