Pros

The quality of coworkers is pretty high; nearly everyone is pretty bright and fairly creative. The company is very flexible with its employees -- work matters more than hours and location. There are a number of interesting classes of problems to work on that are difficult to find elsewhere [large scale distributed systems, storage infrastructure, etc]. The potential impact of your work is huge.

Cons

There's a culture of working long hours. The company is becoming larger and larger, which results in more processes and less creativity.

Pros

The work is really challenging and interesting with a high level of independence and self direction. It's a great place for those with the drive and initiative to succeed. Employees are treated very well and the benefits are great. Managers are pretty good at encouraging work life balance and I'm often told to get out of the office if I'm there too late. And of course, the free food is delicious.

Cons

It can feel a bit anonymous down in the gears of the giant machine. If you don't work in Engineering, you can sometimes feel like a second class citizen. Career development support for employees is almost non-existent.
