Pros

- Google food perks are unparalleled - Gym on site - Sales cycle is easy with the name Google behind you

Cons

- The perks are there to keep you working longer hours - The commute from SF to Mountain View is from 90mins each way upwards of 2.5 hours - Emphasis solely on revenue even if the deal is not right for the client's needs/budget - Unrealistic quota setting so reps work 10 hour days minimum - Account management team is spread too thin, so clients do not receive adequate support and typically turn off accounts after a few weeks - Management focuses on revenue not their people - Very little product training and no sales coaching at all - Google as a greater company is incredibly hard to navigate and move laterally or upward in, even as an existing employee

Pros

Interesting and complex stuff to work on, at Google scale. Talented engineers to work with. Very flexible schedule, awesome perks, etc.

Cons

Somewhat random promotion process, flawed interviewing process (no know alternative there). I referred a lot of very good candidates, only one was eventually hired.
