Great Company

Pros

Lots of perks, food is great, coworkers are top tier, leadership is slow at making decisions and struggles to make progress, but everyone really believes in the mission and wants to work to make YouTube the best place for creators. You have no idea how much time we spend reading all the tweets, feedback, reddit threads and comments. Everyone cares deeply about getting this right for creators and viewers.

Cons

Really slow decision making processes. Leadership is a huge bottleneck and lots of projects get cancelled after people have worked for months just because the CEO, CBO, or CPO changed their mind last minute.

Pros

Tremendous name brand recognition. Amazing internal technology. Very few companies can claim to touch as many lives as Google / YouTube does.

Cons

The YouTube / Google culture of semi-annual perf/promo is excruciatingly painful. The whole company seems to be reverting to "big company" status, caring more about numbers than about people. Watch out for your own work/life balance; help yourself before you extend yourself too much to help others; and don't take it personally.
