Pros

Working on world-class problems can be incredibly rewarding. The staff is incredibly intelligent and you'll find yourself learning a lot. Even though perks are being cut back, they are still much better than others. Middle managers don't micromanage, so you get to work mostly on your own. This may be a negative or positive, depending on your attitude to work.

Cons

Cut backs masked as "being more green" or "complying with Mountain View". Founders are involved in just about every major launch decision and projects live or die depending on their whims.

Pros

Working with and learning from some of the most brilliant engineers in your field. Tech talks, visiting speakers, classes, etc. give you lots of opportunities to learn about a myriad of subjects. Working on some of the most interesting and innovative projects in the world. Excellent senior management.

Cons

Long work hours -- 10+ hours/day is typical for many engineers. Middle management is hit and miss. Some managers I've worked with are excellent, others mediocre. Haven't had any managers that I thought were actively out to get me.
