Pros

We have great perks, people are young, dynamic, creative and willing to take risks. There's an open communication between teams and managers, and overall it's a super fun place to work at. I won't even get started with the benefits and perks that Google offers as those are well documented already.

Cons

Progressing in the career may be a lengthy process. Sometimes you're better off leaving to another company to get work experience and try to return later to Google to get hired into a higher position.

- Lot of politics, especially at higher levels - Lots of redundant work. Many teams seem to be doing the same thing without knowledge of each others work - Too many law suits distracts attention from building good products - Too many "me too" products.
