Pros

It is very good to work here because of all the perks and salary we get. People are treated with respect and the office looks amazing.

Cons

The problem is that most people in Dublin are far from home since this is the european HQ. The weather in Dublin doesn't help at all :)

Pros

About 5% of employees can hope for a "promotion" - to a special point of contact related to internal issues/mentor. That can help your future career (it did help me and some other ppl I know). They pay is not bad and if you are smart enough you can easily hit the highest bonus.

Cons

The Google Maps project cannot be compared to the actual Google company. Employees are hired through agencies and there is no contract extension after 2 years (no exceptions). The food provided is limited though better than in other companies. I feel like the company uses your talents (leadership/attention to detail etc), gives you additional projects (=hope to get an extension, a lot of attention) and than lets you go without even blinking, replacing you with anybody else. This can be frustrating. Another con is the lack of flexibility reg. time management-you can never work back even 15 minutes.
