Pros

- highly competitive - play to win in the long haul - money cushion means this company is less affected by economic volatility - culture is relative open, fair, not terribly hierarchial (especially in marketing)

Cons

- sometimes the size means navigating the organization is tough - duplication of work across the organization - waste of resources by people driving political agenda
