Google is not the Google it was. I mean I still consider that working for Google is attractive, but things I get from tens of my friends who work there are to say the best....mixed. Google might still have the vigor and excitement at its core, but unless you are an already exceptional engineer, the work you get assigned there, often times, ranges from bland to boring.

Like I said, Google is still an amazing company, but it is by no means the only one out there. Talents won't come to work for it just because it is Google, without great compensation and interesting projects.
