Pros

Some very interesting people from diverse backgrounds. Interesting participants from a variety of countries and cultures

Cons

Managers have usually come up through the ranks internally and would not do well in corporate environment in my experience. Lots of bureaucracy. Found people tended to see it just as a job - arrived just before 9 - left on the dot of 5.
