Pros

You get to work with cool innovative products, in a great environment (especially in terms of positive, friendly and skilled colleagues). The brand is well known. You have a lot of freedom in customer interaction and in planning your projects.

Cons

There are not many opportunities for technical roles in this office, but this depends on specific offices. The base salary is not exciting, compared to other offers you can get from competitors.

Pros

Amazing smart colleagues, fun work environment, lots of responsibility right away, great perks (food, travel, bonuses), opportunity to direct your own career/work on what you choose, lots of international travel and team events

Cons

Unclear career progression, huge firm so little chance of rising through the ranks, employees pitted against each other, questionable hiring decisions (especially at management level), unclear policies, competitive atmosphere, middle management brought in (usually) from outside Google and don't always understand/fit the culture
