Like any large company, the team matters more than the company. Lots of re-orgs. Lots of bureaucracy.

Pros

I came for "two years". I'm at Google over seven and counting. Great peers with a culture that fosters collaboration and learning from others. Lots of flexibility - working hours, working from home, team and product mobility. Competitive perks, benefits and compensation.

Cons

As the company grows there is more bureaucracy and formality, but still not as much for a company this size
