Pros

Very fair and professional, emphasis on giving feedback for sake of preparing for advancement. Have tremendous repsect for thise I worked with, learned a lot from them. Left to pursue own venture.

Cons

Culture of collegiality sometimes went so far as to be indecisive, could get frustrating when too many people involved in a decision even though not in the immdiduate budiness unit or chain of command.
