Pros

Worldwide resources, used to be great benefits, strong brands with large market share.

Cons

Talent leaves, cost-driven to a fault now, they are burdened by past mistakes. Too much clerical work, not enough time to do the job. Management promotes pencil-pushers, not talented people with ideas.
