Pros

People are passionate with the technology developed by the company and are very committed to the brand.

Cons

Focus on very short terms results (weekly or quarterly) while decision making is very complicated (politicking and clique behaviour, complex and not user friendly processes, very limited autonomy from Corp, hundreds of narrow, often conflicting KPIs), managerial skills are inexistant and no serious attention and consideration are given to external signals (customer feedbacks, competition moves).
