Pros

The people I worked with were great and very capable but that is where it ends.

Cons

The way of working was not collaborative and was very much a top down approach. This led to a siloed work environment which is not very effective, especially in the development of new products. There was a weird suspicion of different departments which I have never experienced before. Management have no clear path to their goals due to ever shifting targets from the director level.
