Pros
  • Work on world-changing products that have great design and strong technology.
  • Very talented people that know their stuff.
  • Good benefits.
Cons

A culture of secrecy for the sake of secrecy is extremely damaging.

It's impossible or extremely difficult to build your career through public presentations, publications, open-source, etc.

There are very ad-hoc and poor software engineering practices and support systems.
