Pros

Brand value Best place to understand the scale of doing business Amazing leadership principles (which sometimes get misused) Opportunity to work with some of the best minds in the industry

Cons

Leadership is not focusing on its employees while making decisions. There is no bold and brave commitment to take the company to newer heights. There is traits of 'Day 2' setting in, which JB had warned of.
