Pros

Most people have a positive attitude and want to do the right thing.

Cons

The management all pull in separate directions with the senior leadership team usually resigning within 9 months of starting the job. The bonuses for people vary hugely who are doing the same job performing as well as each other. No career opportunities for a long time due to re-org.
