Pros

Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents Employee assistance programs focused on mental health Workplace accommodations for physical or mental health concerns Onsite wellness centers

Cons

Google tech force is too strong, and every area you can think of, Google has world class experts. Then this leads to NIH syndrome (not invented here). Google builds everything in house. As time goes, people only look at the in house stuff, and lose touch of the outside development.
