Pros

Great culture, strong senior management that is friendly and approachable, great internal resources to provide support to developers. Great reputation with with strong balance sheet and well-established platform and procedures.

Cons

The consummate 800-pound gorilla, they are not nimble. New ideas require extensive study, and the analytic discipline can border at times on paralysis by analysis. National contracts/standards with individual providers for items like signage, naming, and creative design can be very limiting to flexibility. Somewhat of an east-coast bias with over-emphasis on pedigree.
