Pros

great benefits amazing people to work with wonderful work environment amazing food! innovative work environment

Cons

Sometimes decisions are made top down with little to no involvement from middle management. Although they have peer recognition programs in place I don't think management does enough to recognize the efforts of their employees -- especially their managers. The extensive collaboration can at times drag projects out because everyone has to be involved and have their say in the project. As a larger company now -- Google seems to be far more process and structure driven -- partly out of necessity -- but it has changed the overall attitude and work environment.

Pros

- Technical resources - Benefits and Perks - Huge number of interesting projects - Smart coworkers - Freedom to manage your own work

Cons

Google is now a very big company, and decisions involve a lot of people -- some times it's hard to get things done even if they seem simple.

Not too bad, but overrated

Pros

The benefits are unparalleled and I really enjoyed the causal work atmosphere. Also, the people were among the smartest I've ever worked with

Cons

Google definitely has a work-life balance problem. Also, some of the people had a very entitled and arrogant attitude, which was quite off-putting.
