Pros

The key characteristic of my time here is that I've defined my own job role through innovation and strategic thinking. I have the freedom to plan and execute initiatives outside the scope of my job role, and the support and encouragement of management to take bold steps forward.

Cons

Big companies resist change in proportion to their bureaucratic density and inertia. You have to consistently be right again and again with a clear story and objective before your voice is heard by the people who can invest in your vision. But they do listen, and like any true meritocracy, you are granted respect and promotion based on the strength of your contributions.

Pros

Great benefits Flexible hours Smart people When it works, it works very well.

Cons

Internal politics - likely true of any large corporation. Review system needs overhauling. Currently emphasis is on collaboration, but review system undermines that by pitting folks against one another and then only rewarding those who are most visible on a project. It's become demoralizing to many.
