Pros

Google is a great place to start your career. They're one of the few companies that was willing to train new college grads and let them join a fun, youthful team of smart people. Plus, the food and benefits can't be beat.

Cons

It really depends on what department you're in. Often times, you can feel like just a number, even though Google really prides themselves on having a start up culture. Google is a large corporation, and that is starting to show more and more due to the economy.

Advice to Senior Management

Be careful not to cut too many corners - the quality of work will decrease, and Google will lose it's credibility.
