Pros

Variety of projects, opportunities to collaborate across teams, and exposure to different areas of the business.

Cons

Frequent leadership turnover creates constant shifts in priorities and makes it difficult to maintain long-term direction (I had eight different managers over seven years). Annual layoffs, often occurring around January, contribute to ongoing uncertainty and low morale. Many employees perceive the layoffs as happening in smaller rounds, which adds to the sense that job security is unpredictable. The culture can also feel cliquish, and your experience depends heavily on your manager; some teams foster collaboration, while others are more micromanagement-driven and less receptive to differing viewpoints.
