Pros

Strong values and ethics Diverse middle management Strong corporate social responsibility Very talented and bright people Collegiate, consultative work style Driven, ambitious people who are on the whole respectful of others Well established control processes mean this a business that is less likely than others to make bad decisions.

Cons

Collegiate and consultative style can delay decision making. Control processes can be badly applied by some individuals limiting creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. More needs to be done with regard to diversity, particularly in leadership roles.
