Pros

Google has one of the best engineering cultures of any place. They fully support you and treat you like a valued member even if you are just starting out. They expect and let you contribute across the enterprise.

Cons

Size, as the company has grown so has the expectations of all projects being large, scalable, and since being able to show impact is the way in which all projects are measured, all changes must be equally large in order to be considered valuable.
