Pros

LV style Free Meal. Free Shuttle. Campus environment. Salary is so so. Best 1st job out of college.

Cons

Most of the Googlers have only been working for 1 or 2 years in Google. Still very young company. High turn over after stock option exercised.

Pros

Very friendly culture, incredible access to practically all of company information, great people to work with and learn from. With thousands of users every second, almost nothing is trivial, so work tends to never be boring. The work process is very professional. Of course, just getting to build stuff on Google's awesome infrastructure (both hw and sw) might also be considered to be interesting :)

Cons

Well, my salary is not particularly high.. Some of the perks listed are just subsidized, and some are not even that. Also, there seems to be a slight trend toward money-oriented decision making, slowly eroding Google's 'Googliness' factor.

Pros

If you are an engineer, it's wonderful. The place is built by engineers, for engineers. The company's rules, structure and processes usually make sense, and when when they don't, anyone can fix them, if they can get enough people to reach a consensus. Promotions sometimes seem very difficult - but well earned, and very fair.

Cons

They don't suffer fools. If you move into an area that is not your strength, you can be penalised - a move from engineering to project management might take someone six months to get up to speed. In that time, they may be given only "adequate" performance reviews. All companies have 'dull jobs' that are hard to automate. Google only hire 'best and brightest', which means some people can be really bored.
