Pros

good place to work and extremely relationship driven organisation, therefore you cant just be good at your job but cant progress career unless know how to build relationships and always find a way to showase yourself

Cons

red tape, hierarchy driven complex matrix organisations, focus less on achievements and goal accomplishments and more on social behaviour and pleasing certain group of people.
