Pros

Management, process and professionalism. Great team to work for. Even though most designers are remote there is still the feeling of being part of a team.

Cons

Pay and benefits. Designers are hourly and depend heavily on overtime pay to make a decent amount of money. That makes vacations impossible for most people. Offer a top level salary to the top level players and they will stay! Health plan is weak for such a large company. They can do better.
