Pros

Many managers are OK with working from home.

Managers trust employees to solve problems.

Time off is very generous.

Company earns billions – little worry about indiscriminate layoffs (if you are a good performer).

Cons

The company has to cross all its t's and dot all its i's due to intense regulatory scrutiny.

Formalized change management processes can substantially slow efforts.

Many projects are butt-covering rather than innovative in nature, due to the regulatory clampdown.

Advice to Management

Stop "busy bragging" about how awful and stressful your life is; it takes some of the appeal out of getting promoted for us peons.

Don't be so risk-averse around change management; hire skilled professionals and trust their judgment.
