Pros

Every individual has a lot of autonomy, flexibility, and ownership in the teams / projects they're part of. Pay and benefits are still among the very best. World-class coworkers. Google is a for-profit company and far from perfect, and I don't know every detail about every aspect of the business. That being said, relative to any other company I've worked for or heard of, Google still has a solid moral compass when it comes to users / customers, and employees.

Cons

The company isn't the employment utopia it once was, but it's still the best place I've ever worked by a very wide margin. Google has matured into a massive corporation, with a lot of the frustrating bureaucracy that comes with that status. It's frustrating to hear leaders say things like "work more efficiently, increase velocity" while also saddling us with ever-increasing layers of budget and security driven red tape.
