Pros

There is some transparency in some aspects of work. There are protocols galore for everything, so no need to make things up for yourself. There isn't a hostile atmosphere.

Cons

There are protocols galore and very fascist rules: "Do it this way or get out." The big picture is not something they look at; they only look at scores that don't really measure everything. They will be upset at you for small things, whereas most of the major tasks are complete. The "entirely be happy while you work" sentiment gets tiring if you are totally winded. They want results, but they don't have any answers for you.

Advice to Management

Use your common sense. Scores and pushing people are not the only way.
