      Bad team placement and end up doing boring infrastructure work.

      Pros

      Immediately write code that is used by billions of people every day---code that is run millions of times a second. It's a prestigious job that looks good on a resume and opens doors

      Cons

      You can end up in a cog-in-the-machine sort of a situation where you don't feel like you're making a useful difference.

      Still a great company to work for

      Marketing director

      Pros

      - fantastic people - products that truly have and continue to change the world - reasonably humble senior management

      Cons

      - the "niceness" can sometimes get in the way of faster decision making - Competitors like apple and amazon are ruthless. At some level, Google needs to adapt as well
