Pros

Google has a bunch of smart people. Also, there is a strong culture from old-timers to question the status quo and make this drastically better. It's also great pedigree for a resume. Pay is pretty good compared to other companies, the perks too. The shuttle service is great if you live in SF.

Cons

very arrogant culture. Old-timers may have a sense of entitlement. Not much growth potential anymore unless you are politically connected with stars. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Too bottoms up, makes cross-team work potentially frustrating. Many remote offices are weak. If you work with a remote team, get ready for a bunch of "C" players with poor cultural fit.

Pros

Google is known the world over. It's probably the greatest spring board to your next big career. It's hiring screens are legendary - if you've once worked at Google, its known that you've passed muster at one of the most prestigious companies to work for.

Cons

Career advancement and career development at Google is challenging. Google is short on titles, erring to title beneath individual's experience. Navigating internal promotions is very difficult and finding the resources to set one's self up for advancement is realized only by the most political and resourceful.
