Pros

Everybody is keen to do the right thing

Cons

Management is a completely mess, other than the few cars that are coming out and are visible to customers, there is absolutely no direction in any other area within the organization. The senior executives have no idea what they are doing nor do they have the capacity to figure out anything long term, as they are all just focused on making sure they don't get fired. The organization is gradually developing a culture where relationship with your boss is the only thing that matters, not the quality of your work. Starting to be ruled not by professionals, but by suck ups. Beware of people who constantly says they are "global". These are generally kids who have been around long enough that every talent has left and were shoved into a "global" role that they themselves are very proud of, but has no idea what they are doing. In truth, very few people knows the true meaning of running a successful global company, respecting local differences. These kids in "global roll" just wants to replicate things that works in a small region in US and thinks the rest of the world works the same way as they perceive from their limited experience.
