Pros

Google benefits, great people as peers

Cons

Google hiring policy makes everyone have to work multiple jobs because there are so many open heads. Middle management is somewhat incompetent, and there are more managers than non-managers. General Google culture (read: elitism) gets in the way of making good decisions.
