Pros

Absolutely none unless you get a team that has a good and encouraging line manager who does not indulge politics

Cons

1. Your peace of mind depends on which team you get and who your line manager is. 2. You have to suck up to those above you and you absolutely have to protect their ego. 3. You do not have a say if you're a junior. 4. Learning curve is flat after a few months and you'll only be doing a fraction of the work a certain function or domain does. The rest of your time is going to be spent 'aligning' with your manager to ensure you don't have conflicts

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
