Pros

-My co-workers - working with smart and creative people -Great working environment and benefits -Academic environment promoting continued learning

Cons

-Lack of good managers -Very little promotion from within and internal movement -In more non-engineering focused roles, its more about how much you talk versus your results (I have seen many people who are actually not that great be promoted because they knew how to talk to the right people)

Pros

Work with many of the brightest people on some of the most challenging problems. See your efforts noticed in the media and in the lives of your friends and family every day. Engineering at Google is, more than ever, a dream job for the right people. Think really really big! There are terrifyingly few limits to what you can do here.

Cons

Competing with many of the brightest people can be frustrating. You will not be "the expert" on more than one topic no matter how smart you are. Google is a big globally distributed company and we have not yet solved all the problems that follow from that.

Pros

Smart people, extremely diverse culture, open environment for creativity... a model for a lot of companies. Technically very advanced - start of the art equipment and the best social activities that make you proud to be there.

Cons

It's a monster, flat organization doesn't allow for much advancement.
