Pros

They don't promote people just only for their skills but it is also important for the company that the person has leadership attributes. I think this is one reason why the culture is thumbs up for me.

Cons

A bit slow with regards to systems improvement compare with similar companies. Needs also improvement on training method with employees, on line courses is not that effective.
