Pros

Excellent people who are willing to help, great team culture though poor collaboration across business units. Great trust in employees that allows personal flexibility when needed.

Cons

Can be highly political and bureaucratic. Consensus based and slow to make decisions. Lots of meaningless improvement initiatives that skirt around real issues of risk aversion and self interest during a down market. Europeans hold the power and some programs don’t translate well when applied to US culture. Can be very demanding but pay justifies the hours.

Pros

Truely a very great company. High focus on work life balance. I never seen a frustrated or slogging soul. Follow 'Be good do good' policy. The best company if you want to improve yourself.

Cons

Good company for people who are good at connecting people and showcasing their talents. If you are a introvert kind of person you will fail miserably. Thats the greatest power of flat structure.
