Pros

Strong company culture - there is a sense of pride in co-workers working in the organization. Company also has systematic procedures and processes due to its huge size. New staff can quickly settle down with a whole pallet of orientation programs catered. Very strong branding.

Cons

Downside of strong culture is that there is a risk of thinking IKEA is the centre of the universe and no one else matters.
