Pros
Great perks (fitness offerings, massage, food, retirement program, health benefits), looks good on a resume and the chance to work on some great products with huge numbers of users.
Cons
The company has become clunky and bureaucratic. Employees are rewarded for being able to "play the game", negotiate internal politics and promote themselves, rather than for doing truly good work. Many of the best and brightest from Google's early days have moved on to more interesting and nimble companies and we are left with a good number of "lifers" who are not the sharpest, but understand the system well enough to keep up appearances.
