Pros

The products are world-class, the company culture is amazing, and the people are some of the smartest people you'll know. Compensation is very competitive and there's a lot of perks to keep everybody happy.

Cons

Like any organization, there are internal politics that need to be navigated. Some play this well, some don't. Making sure you align yourself on the right person's good side can be tricky.

You're there for benefits and the Google logo

Pros

You get to tell others that you work at Google. Hire smart, driven people. Health benefits, 401K matching, and other perks are amazing, namely the free food. Great office environment atmosphere. Overall belief in the company value and mission.

Cons

Most people are overqualified for the job they're doing; company re-structures all the time which leaves you feeling like nothing but a number. Promotions are not merit based; it's a waiting game. A lot of poor middle management, many slotted into management positions after re-structures. Chicago office opportunity is limited, not much outside of sales. You have to be a devout self-promotor to have your work noticed.

You work for a company that has no values what so ever and is doing all it can to violate customer's privacy
