Pros

Most of your coworkers are great and become like family. You learn a lot up to a certain point. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

It is nearly impossible to innovate. There is definitely a herd mentality, and anyone who strays is frowned upon. All the transparency that used to make the company great is gone. Every communication sounds like it was crafted by legal and PR. All the exciting opportunities are scooped up by managers who should be managing and not working as individual contributors. The pay? Ridiculous.
