Pros

Great Pay and Benefits, and a very dynamic work environment. You are surrounded by very smart people and you get to work on cutting edge technology. It's a fun place with the look and feel of a college campus. You are constantly challenged due to the fast pace and the intelligence of your co-workers.

Cons

Things move very quickly and change so often that you sometimes become weary of it. Lots of growth and associated chaos in middle management in the last 2 years has had a big, mostly negative, effect on the culture. The company is slowly but surely losing it's quirky culture and feels more "corporate" each day.

Pros

Incredibly smart people. The culture of openness. And obviously the perks.

Cons

Inexperienced, low EQ, and inept middle managers. Hubris no doubt fueled by the hype surrounding everything coming out of Google these days. The internal class system (pre-IPO vs. post-IPO, or engineers vs. everyone else)
