Pros

Positive atmosphere, good vibes between employees.

Cons

Very slow decision making process. Depending on the department, some "will come" promises might never arrive and leave you stuck for more than a year. If you are career oriented, it might not be the best place to work basically because you would wait too long for a change-depending on the department you are in. Top/mid management leadership skills need improvement.
