Pros
Two pros: 1. You can get ahead by being brash and loud without having to do a lot of work. 2. You can effectively hide in the labyrinthian process and confusion of many M&As to do very little work.
Cons
1. Definitely going to push you into breaking the law. Legal joined a global sales call to remind us that when we are engaging in activity that might be questionable (wink wink) that we should make sure to pick up the phone as emails can be subpoenaed. 2. Did I mention the confusion of the M&As above? They have done many; and while they have had a lot of success as far as shareholders are concerned the process is frequently the worst myself and others have seen in decades of M&As. There is a lot of damage done on the people front, and because of the confusion only the most ruthless and sociopathic rise to the top. They use the weight of the Nestle world and legal grey areas (or entirely illegal ones) to maintain financial success, but nobody wants to stay there or even enjoys their work.
