Pros

Lots of people working on different things, from hardware to software, which makes it an interesting and dynamic place. Engineers are the core of the company and are highly respected.

Cons

You will see money and resources go to pipe dream projects with little chance of succeeding. Promotion happens from without more than within. Engineering middle-management is former engineers who would rather be engineering stuff and can be scatterbrained in their actual job

Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.
