Pros

They treat employees really well.

Goals are very clearly defined, and it's easy to track your progress.

Your managers want to help you grow your career.

Cons

There is a lot of group-think and an unspoken requirement to drink the Kool-Aid. Communication doesn't always happen in the appropriate channels, so it's easy to become disconnected.

Advice to Management

Make it less appealing for employees to move around a lot within the company. Or, rather, make it more appealing for employees to stay with their groups longer. There's so much overhead from the chaos of people moving around all the time.
