Pros

Open environment, as it is constant reorganisation. That means it is flexible in approach, and processes can be proposed and tuned to a certain environment/project, as there is no 'Magna' way of doing things. Hence, it will listen if you make a case to do something, and give you your yard of rope. It engenders good loyalty and team spirit.

Cons

Politics- especially German:UK wars. Constant reorganisation at senior management level destroys effective leadership Financial controls are stringent - 'doing' (manufacturing, project) departments are seens as support functions to finance. Finance never supports others with info, just demands.
