1. Lots of smart people around. 2. Technology knowledge is abound, and is easily accessible. 3. Job impact on the world is tremendous. 4. Neat perks.

Cons

Company is now very large, so it takes a while for things to happen: on the org side, and on the tech side, too.

Pros

Great perks and laid back culture. Google excels at information sharing internally and you can be proud of most products you see in the company. Extensive international opportunities.

Cons

Employees are spoiled children, more concerned about whether they are getting cupcakes in the afternoon than with career development or receiving useful feedback. Middle managers in Sales are useless: no decision power, no direct business involvement. Promotions have ground to a halt at Google. Curve-based calibration of employees' performance assures nobody is ever rewarded for good performance. Most new employees can expect "Meet expectations' feedback for at least a year. Low-performers are never punished and outlast good performers. Company is losing talent fast.
