Pros

Historically very fair in determining future career options and truly encouraging a work-life balance. Still does a lot of research in house and has fantastic capabilities and samples with which to work.

Cons

Group, European mindset leads to long decision making processes and minimal ownership or accountability, but that's finally shifting.
