Pros

Working with some of the best technical minds within the industry.

Cons

US companies are overly sales-focused, and promotions gravitate towards the sales force. This results in some people being promoted based on previous sales ability and not sustainability within their career.

Advice to Management

Don't put leaders into roles where they have no proven capability just because they have to be put somewhere.
