      Pros

      Forward thinking management, Google like philosophy. As a software engineer the job has a significant impact on the company, the product, and the world in general. Job satisfaction and team mentality is generally high among engineers.

      Cons

      Hard work, but worth it if you put in the effort.

      Fun place to work, but not much hope for advancement

      Pros

      Fun environment, fun people, smart people, fun atmosphere.

      Cons

      Not much room for advancement even if you do your job well. Once you are in the role it is typically to be stuck doing that role unless you go to grad school or whatnot.

      Not all it's cracked up to be

      Pros

      Google benefits, great people as peers

      Cons

      Google hiring policy makes everyone have to work multiple jobs because there are so many open heads. Middle management is somewhat incompetent, and there are more managers than non-managers. General Google culture (read: elitism) gets in the way of making good decisions.
