Pros
One of the obvious benefits of working for a large company is that there are a lot of perks. For example, most large companies can offer a range of insurance options. This includes not only different options for medical insurance, but also supplemental insurance (like life insurance or even pet insurance). And, because the company is large, they are usually able to negotiate a better deal, which means there’s a good chance you’ll pay less out of pocket. But, there are usually other perks at a large company, too. There may be tuition reimbursement, on-site daycare, and even an on-site gym, restaurant, or dry cleaner. And, large companies are generally more likely to offer remote work options and flexible work schedules.
Cons
For a time, “thinking outside the box” was a big trend in business. It encouraged original and free thinking to help employees and leaders come up with new solutions to problems, instead of doing things “as we’ve always done them.” The truth, though, is that many large companies don’t like to think outside the box. Large companies are usually less open to change because they are risk-averse. While this caution helps maintain company stability (a pro), it does mean that large companies are slow to change. It can take forever to get things done thanks to the corporate structure, defined policies, and outlined procedures
