Pros

It's a big tech company everyone knows of and depending on what team, you may have a shot at doing something epic!

Cons

It may pay well, but it really depends all so much on what team you end up on. You may not enjoy it at all. I was on a team where I had to work 12+ hours, and it still wasn't enough. The work was very unfulfilling as well.
