Pros
The pros one is the access to good benefits (like say, health insurance, life insurance etc..), one of the biggest advantages to working in a big company is that you can change jobs – often multiple times – and stay within the company. For someone like me who is always up for a new challenge, being able to move from a development team, to a finance group, to services, and back again, provides the intellectual challenge that many people seek – without having to update the resume and embark on a job search.
Cons
The Cons to the big companies really do have more red tape. It’s harder to get decisions made, and employees have less autonomy. You may have a brilliant idea, but by the time you follow all required processes, and review it with all the stakeholders, and get your executive team to buy-in, there’s a good chance that it may not even resemble what you started with. Of course, there’s also a chance that the end product may have improved with all the input and collaboration
