Pros

- Lot of transparency for a company of its size - Super smart co-workers - Outstanding benefits, at least in the Mountain View office. - Innovation in several areas of technology. Not afraid to stand up to big telecom/government etc. in the interest of the common good.

Cons

- Growth within the company is difficult unless you're prepared to sacrifice personal life and sleep, or if you got in the company early enough to manage people who can implement your ideas. - Inconsistencies in pay within grades and across tracks often make me feel my PhD wasn't worth the N years of effort.
