Pros
The company is clearly at the leading edge of the new technologies that will define the high tech industry for the forseeable future.
Cons
Its a geeks heaven, and although all employees are treated well, the engineers are clearly the favored class. I think this makes sense from a strategic perspective (I am not an engineer) but employees in sales, legal, finance etc. often feel slighted because of this. Engineers build the products that drive the success of the company, other functions are essentially support functions. This may not be the case at other companies, such as traditional enterprise software companies, where sales is more important, but that is the way it is at Google.
