Pros
Google has amazing scale for most of their operations, both in the technical and non-technical domains. There are opportunities to reach millions of people all over the world.
Cons
Unfortunately, the culture of the company has changed as the company has grown and it's obviously much harder for any given individual to make a significant impact. Furthermore, a lot of product decisions and strategies are still tightly controlled from the top, which is no longer scalable with an engineering force of more than 10,000. This leads to a large number of engineers working leisurely on products not essential to the core company strategy.
