      Interesting engineering organization

      Pros

      It's a fast-paced environment where employees have a good deal of flexibility on projects they want to work on. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It seemed like there was a good work-life balance throughout the organization. One thing that was clear was that senior management significantly valued their employees and took every step to take care of them. For example, there were free breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. During the summer, we were taken on a beach trip to Santa Cruz. Overall, it was a fun work environment.

      Cons

      Google is a very engineering-driven organization. At times, it seems like there are a multitude of different projects going on with very limited business coordination.

      Not as fun as it used to be

      Pros

      Great benefits, stellar engineers, the ability to work on large, interesting problems. Company has large and usually positive effects on the world.

      Cons

      Flat organization has given way to more hierarchy and middle managers, who are often woefully inept. Company has an inability to deal effectively with low performers. Hard to effect change in a large organization. Lots of people are becoming risk averse and more concerned about personal ass-covering than making good software. "Don't be evil" is not a value shared by all at the company, especially newer hires.

      Good experience, don't spend more than a year.

      Pros

      It looks good on your resume. Additionally, everybody you speak with will recognize the company you work for, as it certainly has good name recognition. There are a lot of learning opportunities, and very intelligent people to learn from beyond the provided courses. Taking advantage of all of these resources is what makes working for this company worth doing, at least for a period of time.

      Cons

      All of the perks are designed to keep you at work longer, without additional pay. Additionally, promotion opportunities are generally available to those who kiss the right feet, not necessarily to those whom do the best work (or work the most efficiently).
