Pros

I worked in a group where my manager really cared about the overall welfare of the company, not just his fiefdom (which is very common at other companies). It was a breath of fresh air to have someone looking at the big picture.

Cons

Upper management was overly optimistic about what could be done with the resources and timeframes they announced. But that's normal at almost every company.
