Pros

Good position in your resume (famous company), good start if you are young - can learn a lot, good and talanted people (mostly), good office, free meals. There are good teams to work with, but you should find them yourself.

Cons

Childish management - they tell you how to do your job instead of doing their. People not interested in good product, but in perks and bonuses - instead of puting their heart soul and time in what they should do, they put it to into being a friends with everybody to get a good work review marks (good marks==good bonuses). Your work review is subjective and made by your manager - if you are lucky you will get a good one, if not - no matter how good you work. HR-partners are actually doing nothing. HR's work are bad - a lot of smiles but they actually don't care about your person, you'll experience it surely. Medium salary, compensated by famous name and office comfort.

Pros

The staff is very qualified, mainly kind and friendly, but many geeky people too. The company strives to keep their employees wanting to come to the office so the staff is pampered to a great extent: the office looks homely and has many benefits including a restaurant and unlimited supplies of cookies/tea/coffee, there is a doctor in the office and a massager as well, the gym is constantly inhabited, several ping-pong and billiards tables are available, there is even a music room. The tasks at hand are mostly interesting and involve brain work=). Also the feel of working in the most popular search engine in Russia is something many value.

Cons

The salaries are low. There is no increase of salaries due to the dollar(or euro) exchange rates. If you want an increase, you have to do something really extraordinary, and sometimes it's not possible at all within a given position.
