Pros

Depends on your team and manager! If you get a good one, it's great. However, if you get a bad one... it's really bad. Luck of the draw.

Cons

Poor director upper management usually from all departments. They often do lay offs every year, sometimes 2-3 times a year to clean management. Thus causing a lot of churn.
