Pros

A lot of really nice people; competitive; will learn a ton; will push you to grow; having it on your resume will take you far; exciting place to be; truly witnessing history being made every day; great benefits.

Cons

It's just pure chaos inside. Operates like a start up still, which is impossible with half a million U.S. employees and an operation this massive. Hard work of constantly trying to defend ourselves against indefensible company problems. Some leadership (not all) is ruthless. Tons of stressful internal churn. Strategy changes constantly. Bloated with mid-level people without much opportunity to grow, after a certain point. Nonexistent internal resources like IT help, etc. If you have a high threshold for internal BS and are good at "managing up" rather than focusing on your actual job, you'll do well here.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
