Pros

Most people are really nice and being part of Google adds a lot: amazing food everyday, massage at the office, exposition to a lot of cool Alphabet projects, gym onsite and all the Google known perks.

Cons

Management / senior management is really bad. I reported to 3 different people and none of them was someone who would inspire me, who I could learn with or would take risks to make things happen. Our directors enforce a culture of competition for the lower levels that is toxic and it's an extremely political company. It feels a little bit like the more energetic people left or are trying to leave and those who stayed are the comfortable people who prefer free food to a meaningful position.

Pros

You can work with people from different teams without hierarchical red tapes across product, marketing, support, engineering teams. Free food.

Cons

Promotion is hard because it is not based on your performance. You have to fight for the visibility and make a case to get promoted.
