      Great perks, great projects, great food, long hours if you're not careful.

      Pros

      There's a ton of engineering resources, and everything is pretty open and transparent within the company. Lots of on the job perks, and there are really cool projects all over the company to spend time on.

      Cons

      There is a culture of working long hours there, and 20% time is pretty much a myth now. If anything, it's 120% time. As well, the San Francisco to Mountain View commute is a little grating after a while.

      everything they say and more

      Pros

      Amazing resources available onsite. All the perks really are amazing as they say. not only is the food amazing but they also have haircuts, car washes, massages, social events, and more all available without leaving the campus. The people also are really smart and amazing. My group would go to snack (a free warm snack at 3 PM) and do brain teasers/philosophy puzzles.

      Cons

      I did not find all of my work to be necessary. Also, my department was located somewhat far from the main campus so I didn't feel like I got to know as many people as I would have liked.

      Best company I've worked at that hasn't gone under.

      Pros

      The projects are interesting. There are interesting data sets to explore. There are cool tools to use, along with infrastructure for puttnig together new tools. The people are great--when you meet a "dud" at Google, it tends to stick in your memory since the duds are so rare. It's satisfying to work on a service that's helped so many people. The food is great; chefs are treated like rock stars and rightly so. The company has income; this is a pleasant change after working at other software development companies.

      Cons

      The bottom-up management style means that some good ideas with uncharismatic boosters get buried.
