Pros

The company has projects in almost every different area and so you can work on areas that most interest you.

Cons

Software engineers are consider interchangeable and the stack ranking implies this. So if you work on an all star team in a desirable area you will not be properly rewarded.

Pros

Smart people, incredible opportunity to work on technology that impacts the whole world, internal tools and support is the best I've seen

Cons

Individual contributors are at the whims of group politics, and the horrible review model perpetuates the infighting. It's very difficult to make any kind of decisions or innovate within the framework of HUGE groups with immense business goals.
