Pros

Very flat structure - relatively easy access to senior manangement, no hierachy, little tolerance of office politics (although in pockets they do exist). Opportunity for young talent to progress rapidly.

Cons

Key decisions still very much taken in a very small executive cabal - question whether integration of Lehman US will change culture.
