Pros

Good collaborative attittude at all levels - people are out to help each other Work / life balance is excellent Intellectually stimulating

Cons

Organisationally complex - not always clear who owns what relationship, who makes decisions, whose BU are we optimising for Informational vortex - there is a vast set of knowledge and experience, but no central portal for sharing it. You just have to find out who is the right person to ask - and sometimes you don't get there!
