Pros

Great team to work with - working on products millions of people use. Good benefits, flexible work hours.

Cons

It's a little odd being part of such a huge corporation, where you can see your group's interests may conflict with other groups in the company. You can't help but root for your own group/section and be a little dismayed at the coordinated, across-the-board strategies.

Depending on the group you join, you may find yourself stuck in a very C++-only world with lots and lots, and lots, of legacy code.
