Pros

* The company works hard to ensure inclusiveness with its employees and products. * Above average compensation for the area * Good benefits * Interesting products to work on

Cons

* The compensation does not scale as good as other companies. If you want consistent salary and incoming growth you might have to leave. * Certain teams and organization are prone to long periods of crunch time. You might have to move around internally to get the preferred work life balance. * Ton of re-orgs. In my 3 years at the company I was moved, without my input, to 3 different teams and had 4 different direct managers.

Pros

Great benefits, great pay compared to a smaller company, very flexible schedule, the ability to take your job anywhere, smart people, impact on products used by people all over the world, very diverse, there's lots of good things! Most of all, it's a company that truly does have integrity.

Cons

It's a big company so don't expect to get to do it all like you would at a startup. Things move slower, you have to spend a lot more time in meetings and coordinating with people, there's lots of paperwork to do for most tasks.
