      Pros

      * Working on cool technology * Pushing the envelope * Good work life balance as long as you keep your head on your shoulders * Freedom to do amazing things

      Cons

      * Easy to get sucked into working too hard * Grass roots driven efforts are less frequent then before * Bureaucracy is growing * A lot of politics for a supposedly not political space particularly senior management

      All in all, still a great place to work

      User experience researcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with talented, driven people who I can learn from every day Working in a place where I feel I'm making a difference. Working in a place where I feel I can express myself Great for the resume. I feel the experience I've had here will be valuable in the future I have had a string of excellent managers I get to say that I work for one of the most influential companies of our time.

      Cons

      It can be hard to advance from one level to the next Senior management can be very arrogant (I guess it's their prerogative) Everything is numbers driven, except when it's not

      Google is probably the best place to work there is.

      Pros

      Challenging, rewarding work found nowhere else. Without going into detail, Google offers problems found nowhere else in the computer industry, in many different areas. It's also pretty easy to move from one job to another if you find you're not satisfied with what you're doing.

      Cons

      It's now a large company, with the downsides of that. It's growing and experiencing a certain amount of growing pains. Unfortunately, some people seem not to recognize that what works when a company is just a few hundred or a thousand employees doesn't necessarily work when the company grows to the size Google currently is.
