Pros

It is very well structured in all its processes, decisions are carefully thought through. People are generally knowledgeable and willing to contribute positively.

Cons

There are many old barons holding on to power thanks to personal relationships. Having to deal with those guys can make your working life very complex.

Pros

SLOW. Luckily, 'Slow 'in everything means slow also in destroying values and personal skills (which you need to have developed elsewhere), so usually your are given a bit of time before you become officially mincemeat for the Company

Cons

Ridicoulous criteria for Management selection and retention: talent and skills are usually a nuisance for the Company. No attention for the market needs and trends. Overall disturbing arrogance of managers with little exceptions in and out bound
