      Pros

      If you're good at what you do, they'll let you do it. Creative and secure managers allow members of their team to flourish, to explore new talents, to experiment.

      Cons

      It's a tough place. Not sure I really think that's a con, but if you're not built Ford tough, you can be crushed. As long as you know who you are, you can thrive.
