Pros

There is some great work happening

Cons

all that great work it is at the expense of the employees. As we have teams and memebers of those teams, in multiple locations across the globe, there are many early morning and late evening calls for everyone. Upper Management requests that boundries be set, but if that happens, the work doesn't get done due to the current mantra of being 'Lean and Fit'
