Pros

Great perks and benefits. Generous compensation.

Cons

It's a very big company, and the same title/position can have very different expectations in different organizations. The dynamics of your specific team and project can make the difference between a miserable position and a fantastically rewarding one.

Pros

Great Benefits Decent Pay (but declining rapidly towards average) Large Scale of Work

Cons

Increasing level of Top-Down leadership, old Google was very bottom up. Promotions and recognition are increasingly going to those who can sell their work, instead of those who do the work. Despite having a largely distributed workforce, travel budgets are terrible and getting permission to travel is difficult unless you are L6+.
