      The best place I've worked, full stop!

      Pros

      No bureaucracy, smart teammates, best in class hardware, challenging work, and excellent benefits. The review and interview process allows for narrative evaluations instead of just the opinion of your boss.

      Cons

      Smart teammates can be intimidating, the company has grown quite large and it's difficult to communicate across the org, transferring teams is much more difficult than it used to be.

      Satisfying work. Long hours.

      Pros

      The perks are clearly a huge win, but the best part of working at google is the autonomy you are given to to real, impactful work that is seen by millions of people.

      Cons

      The relentless pace often means that you have to get things out of the door before they are completely ready, and can do a number on your work/life balance (especially if you work in Android).
