DISCLAIMER. I don't work there. But I know professors and met people that did/still do. It does depend on the position. First, their infrastructure and resources are mind-boggling impressive. Second, it is more like any other job you would normally do. You have deadlines, get it done. Somethings are more fun to work on than others. Yes they have pros(including perks)/cons like any other job. Third, you loose your life to the company. They normally are at the office all day and Saturdays. I know people who love this and others that hate it. Essentially, all your coworkers become your friends because you are always with them. Yes, I am told they have their own Ubuntu flavor they use to work on. Servers are constantly building software. Every company has a VPN, this is normal business practice.
