What are the pro and cons of using friendly urlsURLs compared to query parameters (and vice versa)?

I am noticing that more and more sites prefer using "friendly urls"URLs" over adding information as query parameters. For example;example:

domain.com/product/3343/

compared to

domain.com?page=product&id=3343

Disregarding personal flavor, what are the core differences between the two approaches?
