And he gives it two thumbs up.
He describes working there in great detail:

It can't hurt to try it for a while?

  Maybe it is the corporate drone in me but some of the stuff I have heard from/about google make it sound a lot like a cult. Then again maybe being in a great cult isn't a bad thing.

    Yeah. What I hear is that people working at Google report that they love it. I also hear that people who know people working at Google report that once at Google, people practically disappear from everywhere else, and their contributions to anything outside of work and participation in communities dwindles to nearly zero. Sounds much like a cult, indeed.

      What's the difference between joining a cult and working in Silicon Valley anyway?
