Intel

Many very smart people, lots of projects and areas to work in. Location choice (between California, Oregon, Arizona, Massachusetts, and a few smaller sites). Option to work from home at least some days.

A lot of bureaucracy:

• Weekly and monthly status reports.
• Not a lot of initiative.

Ultimately, it's a manufacturing company, so that side of the business dictates the rules.

A lot of collaborative work involves participants in different sites and countries, so meetings, including regular ones, can be scheduled at odd hours.

Massive buildings full of grey cubicles.

Reward initiative. Replace rows of grey cubicles with something more lively. After all, in the Bay Area, you are competing with Google, Facebook, and Apple.
