Working for Google has been exciting over the last few years but is growing less so over time.

Business Outlook

Pros

The name recognition that goes along w/ the job and the quality of the engineers is good. It is a relatively flat organization and you can set your own job direction.

Cons

It is very difficult to know where management is headed. Over all there is more bureaucracy than there used to be. Not as nimble as I would like
