Pros

Great workplace as must be unanimous. Google knows how to take care of its people.

Cons

Some of my subordinates felt I was trying to one - up them when I was in fact sending in my reports 2 days late (?!) . However, the antidote to this was my awesome manager! The basketball/ football tournaments are taken far too seriously by some! The HR was just not ready to take my exit interview as I had some clear words to say about my team! He ended up just rejecting my calls while I was waiting for him for hours together on my last day!
