Pros

They were alwasys on the bandwagon for the lastest book to inspire management and would give the books out for free. Offer courses on anything you want to learn to enhance your skill set.

Cons

Wants everyone to think outside the box yet fails to embrace the new ideas. Cult like enviroment, take assimliation to a whole new level. Managers have been "encouraged" to step down and then forced to work side by side as peers with crew they use to managed. Careers of tenured crew can be derailed based on one bad review regardless of validity of the review.
