Pros

You learn a lot about yourself and others. Benefits are great. Importance on community.

You have to pretty much forget everything you know and learn a new way of thinking.

Pros

Unique management style: could be very efficient if it is done right

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, there need to be a "sync" for pretty much everything. There is no certainty, everything is subject to discussion and what makes sense. Could be more open-minded about new technology and don't just cherry pick LTCM as an excuse of why quant methods would always fail.
