Pros

If you like to play games and work a lot, you'll love the office. Lots of people play games and work most of the day, eating every meal at the office.

Cons

Engineering Managers seem to be hit or miss. I met some great managers there, and they taught me a lot, but mine was very difficult to work with. Also, little things can take a long time because of all the safeguards the company has in place to protect data-centers and code. If you're used to the slow pace of that, then it's fine, but I wasn't a fan.
