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.
