      Still a good place to work, but not the same place it was in the early years.

      Pros

      Working with and learning from some of the most brilliant engineers in your field. Tech talks, visiting speakers, classes, etc. give you lots of opportunities to learn about a myriad of subjects. Working on some of the most interesting and innovative projects in the world. Excellent senior management.

      Cons

      Long work hours -- 10+ hours/day is typical for many engineers. Middle management is hit and miss. Some managers I've worked with are excellent, others mediocre. Haven't had any managers that I thought were actively out to get me.

      Leave your toy grad school projects behind and build real systems with serious resources behind them.

      Pros

      Google is where you can put your academic toy grad school projects behind you and build real systems with serious resources behind them. You work with really sharp coworkers on projects that can impact millions of people all over the world. If you're self-directed and curious, you'll find no end of interesting problems to work on. Compensation seems reasonably aggressive in rewarding high performers.

      Cons

      Office layout can be pretty packed (5 engineers to a office hut at times). Some projects are not as glamorous as other projects. Perks are on the decline due to the economy (but they're still pretty ridiculous relative to other places).
