Pros

Good pay, in large part due to stock being a major part of compensation and stock shooting through the roof. Generally smart, driven co-workers. Job security if you do decently well.

Cons

All the cons of a large company continuing to grow quickly - bureaucracy, inefficient use of time/money, churn due to constant restructuring and short turnover, too few employees for the amount of work being requested. Basically, becoming more similar to Microsoft in all the bad ways.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
