Pros: Self-driven work environment.
Very good managers with in-depth technical knowledge and hands-on attitude.
Hands-on work environment: everyone, including managers, must actively contribute to the product design and implementation.
Very efficient work environment with minimum communication and bureaucratic overhead.
