    Even though it's not for everyone but once in your career, work for Google if you can.

    Bizarre cult like organisation; if you are in to that kind of thing you'll have a great time, otherwise run, run away.
    The good thingsSmart colleagues; there's always money for everything; working on the biggest commercial problems in the world.
    The challengesPolitics; everyone is in their own silo; no skill or technology in use at Google is in use anywhere else, so leaving isn't easy.

    It was an incredible place to work that didn't suit me in the long term.
    The good thingsFree food, awesome office, working with the best and brightest
    The challengesTo get the most out of working there you have to dedicate your entire life to it. Working out of hours is required if you want to get ahead and move through the ranks.

    I basically have my dream job.
    The good thingsGreat place to work that puts the worker first and allows a fair bit of autonomy and opportunities for excellence.
    The challengesGoogle is a large company. It sometimes lacks charm of a smaller start-up environment or small business.

    It was worth it and only company I've left i would think of returning to.
    The good thingsTelling friends you work for Google. It is a trusted brand and having this on my resume is a great talking point.
    The challengesGoogle values diversity and you can sometimes be confused why someone is in a position or might be less experienced than you. Great culture though and you are encouraged to listen to everyone around you.

    Give it a try.
    The good thingsThe perks are good. There's great talks, and lots of opportunity to learn. The technology is worth encountering during your career.
    The challengesThe Mountain View office dominates projects. The leadership is very removed from the troops on the ground, despite efforts to make it appear otherwise. There's even elitism *within* Google, in addition to the general elitism that a lot of Googlers display.
