Pros

Google has high quality employees. This makes it a great place to work at because you get to learn from people with all sorts of talents.

Cons

As Google is expanding, it is losing a lot of appeals from the good old days of being a start-up. The transparency between upper management and ordinary employees is not as it is used to be.
