Pros

Good Pay, good benefits (despite cuts), free meals and snacks, nice offices. Hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Google has rapidly increased expectations out of employees to a degree that nobody can keep up. Don't expect work life balance Google leadership has succumb to corporate greed. Despite record revenues and stock prices, they still cut benefits, decrease spend and hiring, and demand more from employees

Pros

Very smart, collaborative coworkers; you learn fast just by being around the talent density. Excellent compensation and benefits; strong internal mobility if you’re proactive. High-quality engineering culture: solid tooling, code reviews, and emphasis on reliability at scale. Interesting problems with real-world reach—your work can affect millions of users.

Cons

Cons: Ambiguity and shifting priorities can be common; you may need to drive clarity yourself. Large-company overhead (process, alignment, reviews) can slow execution compared to startups. Work-life balance varies a lot by org/team; some groups are intense and deadline-driven. It can take time to build influence and get things shipped in a big system.
