Business outlook
Pros
High level of freedom in making decisions about the software on team level. Access to a lot of different resources if it's justified.
Cons
Work life balance: All you get is as much as you fight for. Plus you might end up with a lot of on-call load and thus weekend (or middle of night) work on small teams. While officially requiring to be upfront with problems, and think critically, in reality managers can get away with anything as long as they deliver on their goals. You better keep this in mind when dealing with them.
