Pros

When Google said they value their people, they actually mean it. I am encouraged to treat my team members and my peers with respect and a lot trust. I do need to show some deference to my management, but don't have to be a yes man.

Cons

The internal promotion process is vigorous and could be frustrating. Not a problem for me personally, but for those who want to get promoted fast, you need to put in the effort and show your impact and leadership at the next level, before you get prompted.

Pros

Good pay. Mostly capable, smart colleagues, with the occasional superstar. Lots of internal tech stacks and many teams and products to work on. Engineering leads the company (although not as much as the past).

Cons

Large, slow, best days are behind it.
