Pros

Talented people Global mindset Empowerment (to a point) Strong executive management / senior leaders Not as political as many financial firms Ability to integrate and make 'the tough decisions' up front

Cons

Disorganized lines of communication (leads to spinning wheels, duplicating effort) Very weak middle management/ leadership Flat management structure is good but can lead to a feeling like a 'dictatorship'
