Cons
*Struggles with sustaining and resourcing innovation *Historically siloed departments and business units remain challenges *Obsession with brand at times *Some departments suffer from ivory towerism (and it's odd to actually see this) *Career advancement stalls at middle level - poor support and retention of top talent
