Pros

Flexible work environment, Great benefits, very good growth opportunities, good people around to work with. You can get pretty much everything you need to be productive.

Cons

Great promotion opportunities for developers but not so many in PMO. Management is very political will work against you if you are being perceived on the wrong side. Lots of money is mismanaged and spent on offsites/travel. More than 50% of the travel can be easily cut. Headcounts are reduced in last quarters to save money which was overspent in first 3 quarters.

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
