Pros

Dedicated, hard working employees, good benefits, reasonable work environment. Progressive movement (innovation, risk taking development). Great social consciousness and educational support world wide.

Cons

Lots of lay offs and vying for power rather than focus on running the company / organization well. Change is good but only when understand what's working and what needs to be improved. Leaders often lack understanding of issues and lack leadership abilities.
