Pros

Whenever I've worked extra hard or stood out, I've been rewarded with salary bumps and big bonuses. I like that my accomplishments are noticed by my manager and peers and rewarded accordingly.

Cons

Google is a big company; you need to make sure you're on the right team. I felt suffocated on my first team but LOVE my second (current) team. Some of my friends have had very different experiences because they're on different teams.

Pros

A great place to work for its perks and benefits, apart from the challenging work opportunities and great work culture.

Cons

As the company is growing rapidly, and investing in various new technologies, its no longer a company where a small team can launch a game changing product.
