Pros

- Opportunities to move around - Focus on teamwork

Cons

- Whilst work/life balance is trumpeted it is not like that for all departments - PMP is a joke - Too much play acting (meetings, powerpoint etc) with very little to show for it in terms of results

Pros

Flexible work schedule, opportunities to work virtual.

Cons

Constant change without sharing the vision for the change. Some work is moved around only to change back a short time later after a leadership change, seems like a waste of time and resources just to adjust to the preference of the leader of the moment.
