Pros

There is a career ladder.

Compensation is locally competitive.

Some teams can be great to work at for a time.

Cons

Reorgs more often than not mess with good things.

Reorgs are quite common.

Bad processes for promotion if you are not in a pure software engineering track (e.g., lots of variance in process for ML scientists and engineers).

Advice to Management

Build and adhere to mechanisms to listen to your skip reports in a safe space and be held accountable and transparent with changes.
