Pros

Great culture and perks (17 gourmet cafes - all free!) Innovative, fun, industry-leader

Cons

Depending on what department you are in, your experience will vary a lot. In Online Sales and Operations, career paths are limited. Google tends to hire bright, young, over-qualified Ivy League grads into jobs that may not be the best use of their talent. Therefore, turnover is high, and many OSO positions are a good place to spend 2-3 years at most.

Pros

perks location flexibility in working remotely, at least before 2/2009

Cons

- Immature or no leadership and middle management - subtly arrogant in some cases, very arrogant - extremely competitive so there's little trust among employees - non confrontational culture, so issues are not resolved - management means that they let issues get resolved or fought at the employees level or tucked under the rug - too much hype and not enough thought to what they do
