Pros

- progressive & flexible HR policy - access to limitless job opportunity, HR policy facilitates job mobility - relatively stable, one tends to see a higher proportion of long-time employees vs other companies

Cons

- Highly matrixed, decentralized decision making, sometime one feels there's no central authority to make the quick and right decisions - Not enough knowledgeable workers, some folks just talk - Can be too virtual, little face-to-face meetings due to globalized work environment - Promotes work life integration, not balance. Takes a lot of getting used to
