Pros

People who know what they're doing. Lots of interesting projects floating around.

Cons

Constant pressure to get more done faster. On-call shifts. Being pulled in different directions by different projects. Constantly having to troubleshoot systems you don't fully understand without time to learn them.

Advice to Management

They're a natural way developers communicate and work with each other when they're collaborating on a project. Don't break that up because someone gave you a deadline.
