Well there are several disadvantages and critique about the praised diversity in corporations.

1) Reversed discrimination - basically means that the 'regular and indiverse' people who might be more professional are not hired in favor of a person of a minority of an ethnic group, gender, age or sexual orientation.

2) People with significantly different backgrounds might have cultural or other barriers to co-work efficiently

3) Some critics argue that diversity management programs nowadays are ran in order to achieve a better reputation or financial goals, forsaking the basic aim - social fairness

4) Lastly there is almost no empirical evidence of the usefulness for the company of implementing diversity, just theoretical, arguments of necessity.

Of course You can make a much bigger list of advantages, appealing to human rights and social equality, but some of the specific advantages of diversity are:

Better idea generating

Understanding of many cultures and social groups

Diversity might create an internal education and development of employees among colleagues

An image of a 'caring' company

Well this answer might be useful if you need an answer linked with HRM or management, because the word diversity can have several meanings.
