Pros

Interesting projects, challenging environment. It's always possible to improve processes Not much dead wood - people are sharp Clear procedures to follow to get things done Kids at work day is GREAT! Nice facilities Free on-campus fitness center - great yoga classes

Cons

It takes a lot of effort to get buy-in for non-standard process Management doesn't promote from within Lots of competition for promotion because everyone is well-qualified Too much process Cumbersome to get things done with their structure Contractors are given limited privileges

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
