Pros

The sky is the limit if you are in the right place.

Cons

That's the problem. I come through a merger, and the honeymoon has ended. Leadership knows jack; non-technical, paper-pushing, career managers and senior "directors" are going crazy. They are easily hijacked, their accountability to top management is nil, and people who screw up projects worth millions of dollars are promoted and moved all the way up.

Advice to Management

Don't promote people who mess up projects and make them Directors and Chief Architects, if you know what I mean.
