Pros

Strict career plan and promotions are based on tenure not on ability. Company cars are a plus and the lower level people are great.

Cons

If you are a high performer vs a low performer, the bonus amounts are so similar that there is little incentive to be the best. People are promoted before they are ready and then hold back the teams that they join.
