Pros

You learn a lot and get equipped for future opportunities externally.

Cons

Its a political minefield, too many GMs, Lvl 8 and 10, all about themselves, actually, they are so self obsessed they can't be customer obsessed.

Pros

You will have the chance to work on some really cool, cutting edge stuff, and are encouraged (can even change your scope or job) to develop a solution to anything you see can be improved.

Cons

Even though the company is spending billions on data center development, they will do it at your expense. You will be over scoped, under resourced (spread thin), and even if you are a star performer and receive an “exceeds” on your performance evals, you will likely never gain a promotion (especially beyond L6) or receive a raise of any significance.

Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting use cases and projects with clients. Opportunities to grow one’s leadership skills.

Cons

- Very bureaucratic culture - A lot keep up with and not well communicated internally, which slows down customer engagements trying to find the right answers. - Less resources for more - hard to deliver high standards - Conflicting and inconsistent use of leadership principles depending on how it serves the person in a given situation
