Pros

Google was a great place to work with colleagues, and grow my career. I am forever grateful to being lucky enough to be a part of Google.

Cons

It was hard to keep up with the over achieving personalities and keep up with the fast pace of the new hires.

Pros

(1) Culture - very open, lots of respect for people, not hierarchical (2) People - highly driven, intelligent and very friendly (3) Opportunities - high growth, still at the beginning of the advertising shift online (4) Nature of the work - fast paced, highly innovative

Cons

(1) Worklife/balance - very hard working environment. Can be a con for some. Overall the company tries to manage this as best as possible, but the reality of being in a fast-growing highly innovative company is more work than in a slower paced environment (2) Getting large/bureaucratic - for a fast moving company, it has grown up since the mid-2000s and so is more bureaucratic than say a startup but MUCH LESS than other corporates
