Pros

Pays really well Free food Looks good on resume

Cons

Google wants 60-hour weeks. If you have a 150 IQ, Google is okay with 50-hour weeks, otherwise, 60-hour weeks are required to keep your job. Work is mind-numbingly boring, e.g. sustaining software written 10-20 years ago, mostly. Culture is declining QUICKLY Too many people are competing for your job so Google has CS PhDs doing plumbing work.

Good technology company with plenty of opportunities to learn

Cons

Loses all credibility due to intentionally altering search result in favor of political views rather than actual factual results.

Pros

Fun work. I spend most of my time on pinterest and online shopping sites. You can create your own schedule.

Cons

Very very difficult to get in touch with anyone when there are technical issues. Not a lot of guidance from staff. Old training documents used and you have to scour message boards to see if they have been updated. I have been working for 4 weeks and have not been able to track any payments. I don't know if it is a technical issue or if the algorithm doesn't deem the hours I put in worthy of pay.
