Pros

The people are amazing, everyone is super talented and smart. Food & other perks are generous. For a large company, has a superbly impressive culture and responsiveness to employees' desires.

Cons

Individual team/group culture varies widely, some are a lot more "fun" to work on than others.

Pros

Looks good on your resume Free meals Your parents will have heard of the company, even if they still don't understand exactly what you do for a living.

Cons

Disorganized management Arrogance and complacency are rampant (think Micro$oft in the 90's) You can't trust your co-workers A collection of failed attempts to diversify, kept afloat by one cash cow (depressing to everyone not working on search) Most managers actively sabotage your efforts at working on a 20% project -- very frustrating.
