Pros

Compensation and potential growth (looks good on resume). Will learn a lot about what a big company is like and probably agile methodologies (for a lot of teams). My team was personally friendly.

Cons

You will be expected to work overtime if you are having difficulty figuring things out. And almost everything is learned on your own. You are thrown into the deep end and will have no understanding of anything and it will be stressful to figure out.

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.
