Pros

Great food, decent pay and quality of life benefits.

Cons

Horrible management. They put all of their faith into an "algorithm" that does not account for travel time and terrible weather. I moved halfway across the country to start a new career for Google only to be written up for not knocking on enough doors during a thunderstorm. They have so many verification procedures in place that it took 3 weeks of me reaching out to management everyday for them to fix an issue they had with there computer system before I could finish my new hiring paperwork. This resulted in my first check being a week late, when I asked for an advance so I could have enough money to get to work they threatened to write me up for asking my colleagues for money.

Pros

The onsite perks were everything that they are cracked up to be. All of the stories are true, the perks are insane and extensive.

Cons

The work I did at Google was the least meaningful and least impactful of any job at any point in my career. This includes working as a consultant for over 15 different companies over several years. Management was insanely political and great people were forced out because they didn't say the right things or stroke people's egos.
