      Pros

      Tales of terrible work-life balance are exaggerated, tales of lavish benefits are not. 9-5 or 10-6 are pretty standard working hours, although some choose to work longer. Managers are explicitly there to help you get ahead in your career - most take that to heart and act accordingly. Strong culture of engineering well, rather than fast. Unit testing, code coverage, automated sanity checks, peer reviews, etc are the norm. VERY socially responsible company, even more than they like to advertise. It's easy to feel proud to work for a company acting very intentionally to do great things for the world.

      Cons

      The open office layout is noisy and distracting - it's possible to cope, but I really wish we had separate cubes or offices. Being social is required to get ahead. Everyone has a high level of competence coming in, so you get ahead through collaboration, leadership, impact, and other things that are difficult to do if you're not a social person.

      Pros

      Best density of talent at any large company, their office productivity suite (e.g. gmail) is definitely the best, food is quite good, especially the coffee barista

      Cons

      Google is now a bloated, political organization. Unless you are a software engineer you will learn more elsewhere, and have greater upside at a Facebook or a start-up. HQs are in MTV, outside of there your career stagnates.
