Pros

- Great opportunities for those who seize them - Functional matrix system helps to deliver resources where clients need them - Tremendous, knowledgeable people who care about their jobs and will share their knowledge - Vast resources and capabilities

Cons

- Lower levels of management have significant responsibility but now authority - Systems for decision making and risk management get in the way of doing business - Employees get lost in the equation for major decisions, with employee retention having little value to the bean counters - Management gets so focused on performing for Wall Street each quarter that they undermine their own business model, undermine profits, and damage their reputation.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
