Pros: You're working at one of the most important companies in the world. There is really great stuff to work on, but it seems to be getting harder and harder to work on interesting things. Campus is wonderful.
Cons: Way too much internal competition. It's a dog-eat-dog world, where you have to climb on others shoulders to get ahead, and spend far too much of your time watching your back.
