Pros

Transferring DevOps engineers into IT makes sense operationally as it should reduce friction, especially if it leads to IT embracing greater automation and moving away from manual ServiceNow heavy processes.

Cons

Impact to reward for DevOps Engineers moved into IT is demotivating and is contrary to the messaging that IT need to level up their capabilities to the capabilities that the DevOps Engineers bring.

Advice to Management

DevOps engineers are responsible for mission-critical systems that all engineering workflows depend upon.

It seems that the Reward team might not appreciate that DevOps engineers are software engineers and not sysadmins.
