Pros

Growth - it is a good place to start career as a student you get to spend a lot of time learning and people are willing ot guide you to go places.

Cons

Way its done - too much bureaucracy - red tape limits innovation and there is a set methodlogy of doing things - not very good for creative types who need independneence to guide what they do.' very slow growth path which limits the ability to retain and keep very taelented employees who otherwise feel that they are stifled in whta they can do and where they can go.
