Pros

All around good company that usually genuinely cares about employees. Overall, the company is flexible with personal schedules. Company is doing well and the stock continues to uptick. Total benefit package is competitive.

Cons

Always has been and, seemingly, always will be a divide between employees at the Mountain View office and other employees with regard to advancement opportunities, training and projects. The amount of work being sent to the India office is off the charts despite a less than stellar history when doing so. Supposedly using agile but other than daily scrums there is very little that is agile. Most agile teams are run by development managers which frequently cause rifts as they defend the development team while chastising others. Back-stabbing is frequent and trust is waning. Petty things will show up on annual reviews as negatives despite no-one mentioning anything during the course of the year. Careers will be held back simply because you are not given the opportunity to work on the right projects. Management has their favorites, those who simply blindly follow without speaking their mind; if you are outspoken you will be held back. Those who advance the fastest are the same people you seldom hear a word from.

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
