Pros

The Food! Lots of events happening on a daily basis that allow you to disconnect from work. A younger demographic that's great for singles or folks who like to make close friends with their coworkers. You can come up with and run with any ideas you think are worthwhile. Not a huge amount of red tape to change process. Very easy to get international exposure because of Google's large reach across the globe.

Cons

You get spoiled with all of the food and perks etc. There are a lot of folks in management that have excellent academic records but very little experience when it comes to actual business strategy or people management. This can hurt if you're looking to find a mentor with some real experience. Also, it's hard to get rewarded for simply being stellar at your core job. Reward is given to those who simply come up with projects for the sake of coming up with projects, which isn't necessarily best for Google or it's employees.

Pros

Cutting-edge technology, famous brand, good food. The good weather here in mountain view, ca is also a good reason. If you are tired with the free food here, go get some decent dinners in the Castro street nearby. You can also learn a lot from tech talks, open days, the moma, and the code tree itself. Google's code base may not be the biggest, but its quality is the best in the world.

Cons

it is a good place for college graduates but may not be good for ambitious people. The decision to quit is difficult because of the perks, the good food, and the admires from people around you when they know you are a googler. But there is a reason for so many talent people to leave this company ...
