Pros

Good quality work is easy to find since you can switch teams. Pay is also fairly good for the skills needed to crack the interview.

Cons

Toxic culture. Incompetent managers - they're given a lot of powers and they love to abuse it. Nobody trusts anyone. PIP system breeds backstabbing culture. Middle management is incredibly incompetent. Some old fart engineers who got promoted years back are keeping the lights on.
