[Disclaimer: I work at GM]

General Motors fits all your criteria besides location. We have IT centers in Austin, Phoenix, Atlanta and of course Detroit.

I've been here a year and there is an amazing amount of bootstrapping and getting things done across the company. Fortune 5 company, making a billion in profit a quarter, moving all of it's outsourced dev in house and turning IT from a cost center to an innovation/profit center.

I work on shopclickdrive.com which is GM's foray into selling cars online (we leverage our relationship with our dealerships...a third of our US dealers signed up for the program in 3 months). Very cool stuff when you think about how no other auto manufacturer is trying to sell cars online...especially at our scale. [http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140124/AUTO0103/3012400...]

Beyond the we use SVN as our SCM, we're moving our stack to all the best practice stuff: client-side mvc, restful apis, SOLID code backed by automated unit and functional tests.
