Pros

Depending on the management, the company can be an innovative, long-term thinker.

Cons

The company wants to achieve quality through standardization. This is fine for a certification company, but the company does not seem to value excellence and innovation. Far too often, things are done "the way Geneva dictates", even though that does not make sense in the current situation.
