Pros

Great transparency within the company where you can learn a lot. Abundance of great, intelligent people in the company. Lots of exciting opportunities within Google. Great benefits and perks. Employees are well respected by company.

Cons

Too Mountain View centric. Most key persons are in HQ and most important decisions are made there. It's a pain for offices to collaborate across timezones. For example, it's impossible for JAPAC, EMEA, and the US to meet together.

Pros

Great work environment. Especially software engineers are highly enabled and valued within the company. Many different products to work on. Lots of smart people. Great benefits and free food.

Cons

Little influence on which area you get assigned to at first. Probably not much of a financial upside at this stage. Takes an extremely long time to get up to speed and feel productive.
