Pros

- Internal transfers are very easy. You can find new, exciting teams and switch. However, it has been more competitive recently - people have been looking to move more often. - Personal growth opportunities for leadership, end-to-end ownership.

Cons

- Arlington, VA does not have any exciting teams or charters. It feels less like an HQ2 - quite boring teams and projects. - There is toxicity and politics within some organizations, where you're competing with your peers and teams. Career growth/promotions have gotten more competitive, and you have to play politics. - RTO mandate limits opportunities to your location unless you're willing to move.

Pros

Really smart people, tons of opportunity for impact and leverage

Cons

Orgs and teams behave incredibly differently. If you're unlucky, you run the risk of ending up in a bad team or org. Use the great internal mobility to get yourself out of that
