Pros

Google is full of qualified engineers, not up to historical standards, but still above average engineers on average.

Cons

You are a cog in a machine, nothing more nothing less. You are encouraged to keep your head down and share as little information as possible. Decisions about your career and future are made by people multiple levels away from you.
