Avantages
Employees share a strong sense of commitment to the mission and are generally high quality.
The products are not perfect, but they are excellent and improving.
Inconvénients
Decision making processes are immature and/or non-existent.
Decisions are made top-down, often based on long standing personal networks, not merit and analysis. Organizational politics and doing things based on how they will appear, not how they impact the business, are prevalent.
