Pros

You can move around different groups depending on what you're interested in.

Lots of different projects to choose from. You can choose high-profile projects that can get you promoted, or low-profile projects with good work-life balance.

Cons

Slow company growth.

Mediocre or bad performers are kept on the team. Even though they are good for the bell curve, it's frustrating working with uninspiring or clueless people.

I am starting to see a trend in my team of more off-shoring again, which leads to poor code quality.

My team doesn't seem to care about the users. Once a product is put in maintenance mode, it gets sent to offshore teams who don't know the product/technology as well and who don't respond to user complaints quickly.

Advice to Management

They need to care about the users of our platform.
