      Pros

      I've managed to be on one of the "sexier" products at Google where they promote fast and hand out equity/bonuses like they're candy. Coworkers are all smart and genuine people, healthy expense policy with travel to really great locations. Good and supportive management and lots of room for growth.

      Cons

      HR is a pain to work with and even after two years the internal "level system" is still a black box to most people who work at the company. Recruiters are some of the worst as they lie and try to screw you out of compensation when you're initially hired. Even as a full-time Googler who interviews ~2/3 candidates a month, recruiters are still difficult to work with as they oftentimes don't understand the role you're trying to fill.
