Pros

Some great people who are highly motivated with excellent technical knowledge.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical organisational structure. People largely viewed as fungible assets who can be exchanged and transferred with ease. Upper management doesn't understand that knowledge can't simply be transferred, particularly specialist knowledge that has been acquired over a lifetime of work. Plans are in flexible, especially with regard to company acquisitions. People made redundant without proper understanding of the impact. Currently being restructured after filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US.
