      Pros

      Google gets that the less you have to pay attention to peripheral stuff and leave campus, the more you get done in a day. This means that on-site benefits are valuable and easy to access including health care, exercise, and personal care. It's a challenging environment that will make you play your A game.

      Cons

      No matter what position you're in, coding is key. If you do develop skill in at least one programming language, there are limited opportunities.

      Great place to work but very competitive

      Pros

      • Compensation • Benefits • Offices are fun • Infinite opportunities to learn

      Cons

      • Very competitive and difficult to make career progression • Everyone is overqualified for their jobs. Because everyone wants to work at Google, they can get by hiring candidates with 5+ experience for positions other companies consider entry level.

      Love the founders, excessive growth and middle management destroyed the culture.

      Pros

      Benefits, Compensation, cash to burn, pockets of innovation remain in the company. The founders are strong and are genuine.

      Cons

      Poor middle management, inexperience and arrogance made life very difficult. Too much time playing and not enough time delivering. Academic prejudice runs deep, politics and back-stabbing is the norm.
