      Amazing place to have your first job, but two years is probably long enough

      Pros

      Amazing smart colleagues, fun work environment, lots of responsibility right away, great perks (food, travel, bonuses), opportunity to direct your own career/work on what you choose, lots of international travel and team events

      Cons

      Unclear career progression, huge firm so little chance of rising through the ranks, employees pitted against each other, questionable hiring decisions (especially at management level), unclear policies, competitive atmosphere, middle management brought in (usually) from outside Google and don't always understand/fit the culture

      If you want to work at a large company, Google's the best place to be

      Pros

      Autonomy, trust and flexibility to do you job. The basic philosophy is to hire smart people and let them get stuff done independently. The atmosphere and structure is actually brilliant and with nice cash compensation it's a great place to be.

      Cons

      Getting larger and more political. If you're not working on a project that is clearly important it can be difficult to get noticed by senior management.
