Pros

- Free food, perks, working for the leader

Cons

- Hire always the same profile on the sell side (Consulting firms) - No possible evolution. If you don't start as a manager, you have 95% chance of not being one at Google in the futures - Company got too big. We do not understand anymore the aded value of our job . - Process and reorgs kills the spirit and the atmosphere of Google - Internal moves are getting really difficult to obtain

It can be hard to fit in such a chaos organization. Also it sometimes leads to duplicates in the projects that people are working on.
