Pros: The willingness of the company to try new things, take risks, and allow people to accomplish their objectives with minimal oversight is amazing.
Cons: A decent amount of time is spent reinventing the wheel and re-learning the same lesson, just in a slightly different context or program. This sometimes leads to innovation and/or improvement, but just as often leads to headaches.
