Pros

The flexibility is amazing and there are a light of bright people that enable teamwork. I personally love the entrepreneurship attitude which allows me to run my section of the business as I see fit. Lastly, the trust from the front-line and second-line managers is amazing.

Cons

Work/Life Balance are grey and you can get sucked into the internal competition, stack ranking, etc. Every person in corporate with a product line, sales responsibility, etc. has a metric to monitor the business. There is a complex metric and you have to be focused on every metric... I personally believe this stifles customer relations.
