Pros

- Free food - On-site Gym - Everyone will like you more because you work for Google

Cons

- Everyone outside of work won't stop asking about Google - All of the free food and dessert will make you fat - Co-workers with a god complex everywhere. They're all at the top of their games with little humility. You will get lonely. - Minimal chance for advancement - Everyone is on edge here. No one can relax. You will get lonely. - My co-worker insulted a Chinese co-worker all the time and no one said a word which is indicative of the culture here. - Long commute times on the over-packed buses akin to taking two coach flights per day on the smallest airplane. - Outdated equipment - Broken toilets everywhere. Broken bikes everywhere. Everything is broken. - Knowing that this is the best job on that planet makes all of this even more depressing - The Google exceptionalism mentality permeates everything and everyone here. - Low wages compared to competition - I could go on and on
