Pros

Very high code quality standards Good place to get experience, since you get a lot deep knowledge Fast paced environment Good career opportunities, benefits and pay Nice people

Cons

Big code base, with lots of old code Somewhat stressful environment and not the best work-life balance, for engineering roles (on call, timezone differences) Takes a lot of effort to do little impact (huge product, so expected). Kinda narrow learning path for engineering roles - coding one language and not really expanding beyond that, apart from necessary tools, and even then a lot of tools are internal. Yes you get into different domains, but technology wise - pretty narrow
