Pros

I struggle to think of any...

Cons

Very top heavy with ineffective leaders. Everything is personal and political, no one is motivated to do a good job for the sake of it. People stall each other at every turn if it will benefit whatever cause or empire they are trying to build. Over 15 years of professional experience and Custom had some of the poorest management I have ever seen. Bad behavior, harassment, and dubious deals are constantly rewarded if it adds to the bottom line.

Some product/workflow issues that make getting work done very difficult or clunky to sell.
