Pros

Some of the best benefits (health, vacation, etc) when comparing to other companies Promotes networking and working in teams Willing to let employees try roles that do not exactly match their backgrounds

Cons

Management is very conservative and it is extremely hard to make changes to practices already in place Promotions tend to be based on politics rather than work accomplished Little focus is put on developing and retaining young talent
