Pros

My 2 main criteria for working at a company are 1. that there are smart people to work with and 2. that there are interesting things to work on. Google excels at both of these traits and I've been completely satisfied all of the years I've worked there. The free food and abundance of other benefits aren't so bad either.

Cons

There's very little that I can think of that would constitute a downside at Google. For those looking for a startup opportunity its as close as a big company can get but still not the same thing (i.e. pitching a project at Google is a lot less stressful than pitching your business plan to a VC).
