Pros

I am working with some of the brightest people. Its very interesting too learn from the inside how Google thinks and acts. Definitely one of the very few companies out there at the market that actually creates the future and writes rules of the game.

Cons

Increasing bureaucracy, work/life balance is bad

Pros

The Google Network has some cool features that should concern its competition. For starters, it can disclose the sites you run ads on and report performance on a site-by-site basis. This enables you to focus buys on those sites (inventory allowing). An inability to see where your ads appear has always been a barrier for some advertisers.

Cons

One drawback is there are no inventory level guarantees. This is true of any network, but with Google it can get even more difficult as you can't reserve inventory (expensive home page buyouts aside). A bidder can bump you out of certain placements by bidding higher and raising his maximum CPM.
