Pros

Great benefits. Great efforts at diversity. Some great people that one has to seek out.

Cons

If they cannot put you in a box, very difficult to make a contribution. Does not promote exceptional performers - even small groups are very distanced from each other - no entrepreneurial encouragement.

Remote work and flex time.
