      Pros

      great side benefits, free food, nice setting for a corporation. Some of the people were nice to work with, young atmosphere

      Cons

      all benefits at Google are provided so as to keep you at work as long as possible. Serious egotism is a problem.

      Good company and perqs; work itself is often lacking in substance and satisfaction

      Pros

      * World-class, brilliant coworkers * Excellent benefits and physical environment * Above-average total compensation compared to other local companies * Some groups do very cutting-edge work

      Cons

      * Much of the work is not interesting * Mid-level executive leadership is questionable * "Death march" schedules and random priority changes becoming more common * No career path from engineer to having substantive influence over what gets worked on * Too many overqualified people forced into work that's beneath their abilities

      Pros

      The benefits at Google are amazing. The free 5-star catering for lunch. The decent breakfast and dinner options. We even have a sushi-chef on-site in the NYC office. The entire company and all of its employees enjoy learning and it is very respected when you take internal training courses and/or share industry information with your peers. You are expected to be brilliant. You are expected to output great, creative, innovative work. You are expected to be the best of the best. And they only hire the best candidates out of top-tier private schools with applicable research, industry or work experience.

      Cons

      The downside of working at Google is getting lost among all the other brilliant people. The loudest and most talkative employees are the ones that get the most recognition. The people who complain the most get the most attention.
