Pros

FREE FOOD, interesting technology infrastructure, beautiful work settings, name brand recognition, you may get some basic career guidance, did I mention excellent free meals?

Cons

Its like watching an episode of The Office, except that its not entertaining and totally destructive to your personal creativity and lifestyle. One manager mentioned that he enjoyed providing an environment of "fear, intimidation and coercion." (seriously.)
