Pros

- free food several days a week - Good people for the most part - it's nice to work with people you can learn from. - on top of new technologies in certain areas of the company

Cons

- long hours and almost no personal life - low pay in comparison to other software engineering jobs in the area - In most product areas, there is such a high demand for bug fixes and "emergency" patches that it has become a "burn and churn" type of environment. - If you are not part of the top clique of friends, you might as well settle into mediocrity and get some experience, then move on.
