The work given can be bland and boring. Work is very streamlined, without much room to innovate. You are expected to only work on specific tasks, so it feels like you're a small gear in a huge machine.
(Not really a con) I would like to see a Google Toronto Office for Software Engineers rather than a Waterloo Office.
