Pros

While it's a competitive workplace, most people collaborate and have fun. Not to mention the free food provided at Google.

Cons

Working in a highly competitive field means that you have to be on your toes all the time to stay ahead.

Pros

All of the things you've already read about: Food, Dogs, 401k. Looks great on a resume: When you're ready to move on in your career, having Google on your resume in any context almost guarantees an initial interview just because folks are curious about Google and why you would ever want to leave.

Cons

No career development / ladder / useful feedback. If you're not Eng, you're nothing. FAIR WARNING: When you realize there is more to a career than free food and you start to apply with other companies you will most likely be asked if you know how to behave yourself / act like an adult / perform in a traditional office environment.
