Pros

Access to internal knowledge bases, opportunity to work with some major engineering celebs, bleeding edge infrastructure, a lot to learn from the experience.

Cons

If you care about your professional relationships more than computing then go work somewhere else because many people you'll meet there are brainwashed beyond recovery and in the long run it's hard to put up with. Career opportunities are a myth.

Pros

Flat hierarchy within the company, level of responsibility relatively high, cross team work supported, internal movement very well done as you could move pretty easily

Cons

the promotion system is truncated as the metrics used are not performance based, this is a shame for a company that promotes performance
