Compensation practices only reward top execs. They truly don't care about employees.
Pros: Depending on your manager, flexible work hours and location
Nice campus in Redwood Shores, nice cafeterias and atmosphere
If you are one of the people with no work ethic, you can often get away with very little work in some orgs (not a positive for me, but some people stay a very long time for this reason).
Cons: Very inequitable pay practices. They never give raises and give poor if any bonuses, even for top performers. It's excuses, excuses, excuses from the top of why they need to save money for the next big acquisition, while execs get outrageous raises and bonuses and stock packages. Even if you're a top performer, if you threaten to leave, they show you the door. Middle management's hands are tied. They won't lobby for employees because they have no power and they will be shown the door. Your starting salary could be decent if you're a good negotiator, but you'd better be happy with that figure for a LONG time.
