Pros

Work life balance, flexible working hours

Cons

Promotions awarded on the basis of how well you are able to butter up your direct report and his/her direct report. Favouritism very much permeates the work culture & work ethic and is a behavior which is encouraged amongst its associates in order to progress in your career.
