Very knowledgeable and seasoned workforce. Most cases, they are ready to help when needed.

Cons

Company has grown so much that what once a flat organization ,when everyone had a stake in the company, has turned into a 2 class organization. Top layers gets all the bonuses, recognition, the other half is pushed by the top layer to meet goals that can be just for show for the top layer to collect their bonuses.
