Pros

Google has a very good culture. Management is very open with employees and information flows from top to bottom continuously. Google has a lot of learning opportunities. A lot of authors and researchers come to present their work and give talks to employees. Benefits are good.

Cons

The main campus is very crowded. People share either large cubicles or work in open space so it is very easy to get distracted specially when a group of people have a discussion or someone speaks on the phone. It can also be hard to find a good place make a personal phone call.

Pros

Smart people. Being on the cutting edge of the action in Silicon Valley. An ambitious company.

Cons

Becoming more bureaucratic as it grows larger. Cost cutting really seems to be targeted at the "little people", rather than execs who still seem to do what they want.
