Pros
If you are an engineer, it's wonderful. The place is built by engineers, for engineers. The company's rules, structure and processes usually make sense, and when when they don't, anyone can fix them, if they can get enough people to reach a consensus. Promotions sometimes seem very difficult - but well earned, and very fair.
Cons
They don't suffer fools. If you move into an area that is not your strength, you can be penalised - a move from engineering to project management might take someone six months to get up to speed. In that time, they may be given only "adequate" performance reviews. All companies have 'dull jobs' that are hard to automate. Google only hire 'best and brightest', which means some people can be really bored.
