Pros

Excellent work life balance. Appraisals are good though not transparent. If you have "good relations" with boss no one can stop you from succeeding.

Cons

Middle management enjoys by absorbing benefits and passing pressure to lower level. Favoritism is inherent, no common mission to work on. More managers than required.

Pros

Very progressive. Very apt management and Legal Structure. Very selective in human resources - only top nudge candidates, therefore very large pool of intelligent educated people in each Department / Team.

Cons

Management not always clear of intentions. Overspending and then unnecessary FTE budgetary cuts. Very slow rates of advancement due to old school hierarchical structure.
