Pros

1. The people - some of the best and brightest people I've ever met. Young, energetic, and creative people make work enjoyable, and interesting. We've got our share of former Olympic athletes, mad scientist engineers, etc. 2. The work - We're the market leaders in so many different spaces, and it's exciting to be on the cutting edge. You get to work on things that might just change the game, and that's exhilarating. 3. It's Google!

Cons

VERY Entrepreneurial. You have to manage your own relationships and career, no one's going to do that for you. This can be challenging, and to some, discouraging. But take it or leave it!

Pros

Great pay, work whenever convenient for you. The free food is simply amazing. Lots of perks like massages, micro kitchens, tech talks. The tech stops and hardware depots are great assets, you can go pick up headphones or a new keyboard and mouse for office use. The work place is very open, interaction with other employees is very easy. It is filled with very intelligent and fun people. The company is very open, you can ask questions directly to the CEO or Founders during TGIF question and answer sessions. Interns don't get nearly as much perks and benefits as full time employees, but that's expected. Google probably has one of the highest pays for interns. It is definitely one of the best places to work at.

Cons

Promotions don't seem to happen too often due to the fact that there is very short chain of command and little bureaucracy.
