Pros
getting to work on massive scale; seeing how the whole process works; there really is a lot of ownership given to smart developers and teams, with mostly fairly little oversight. You are surrounded by smart and passionate engineers, for the most part, who have choices and want to be there.
Cons
no concern whatsoever for work v. personal life, with the examples starting from the VP level on down; developers spend much more time supporting legacy systems than writing new code; pager duty is unpredictable and can be nightmarish, inducing Stockholm Syndrome; more politics every year that make the place genuinely not fun to put your head down and do good work.
