      Pros

      The perks are just amazing. Their health plan is especially very generous. The people are incredibly smart and excited about their projects.

      Cons

      The working environment is not very friendly, there is an air of arrogance. The recruiting and HR processes are especially slow and tedious.

      Still as innovative a company as ever

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lot of transparency for a company of its size - Super smart co-workers - Outstanding benefits, at least in the Mountain View office. - Innovation in several areas of technology. Not afraid to stand up to big telecom/government etc. in the interest of the common good.

      Cons

      - Growth within the company is difficult unless you're prepared to sacrifice personal life and sleep, or if you got in the company early enough to manage people who can implement your ideas. - Inconsistencies in pay within grades and across tracks often make me feel my PhD wasn't worth the N years of effort.
