Pros

Intelligent and (mostly) kind coworkers, lots of really great people there. Tons of opportunities to learn, interesting technical problems. Compensation is excellent as are general benefits.

Cons

Very fast-paced work environment, constant re-prioritizations. Stack ranking leads to unhealthy internal competition. Have seen many great people being cut over the course of my 4-5 years there. Some teams are dog-eat-dog, have seen people join meetings from the hospital.
