I'm currently finishing up a contract at a large chemical company doing the same thing. They have a fancy new office in downtown Chicago that clearly a lot of money went into. They emphasize scrum, being fast moving, and a geeky, innovative culture that supports cutting edge tech. I say finishing up because for the amount of money they're pouring into the center they aren't seeing what they want, so they downsized the contract I'm on and are severely limiting the funding going to this center. To the point where 2 weeks ago a breakfast and learn had to be cancelled because they couldn't get approval to buy 2 dozen bagels or something similar. So I would take this with a grain of salt. I imagine most of the bigger companies taking this route will either roll back their spend on this or have the workers pay the piper within a year or three. Granted, they aren't really scrum or (that) fast moving and there's tons of red tape for obvious security reasons, but it does lend well to work life balance. I might look into a similar role when I start looking again.
