Pros

Long history of success in a variety of business models. Deep pockets, willing to invest for the long term, not allowing years of losses to derail long range plans.

Cons

In a state of flux, no true direction as planned models change. The long term outlook does not match with short term decisions most of time.

Pros

flat organizational structure, making communication easy, smooth and real time; great leadership, very accessible and encouraging; helpful colleagues who can turn to for questions

Cons

Being a fellow does not provide the best means to get to the heart of their business; still very research oriented and less project-based elements.
