Pros
  • Fantastic opportunities to learn about many different things.
  • Rotation between teams is possible.
  • Lots of very smart people willing to help out.
  • Generally exciting projects; often you will go from being just one person researching something and the next thing you know it is a large scale team effort across countries.
  • Pre-covid, travel was common, including conferences and meetups.
  • Agile working and good use of communication tools ensure remote working isn't a problem.
Cons

You will not always be in a role that best suits your previous skills and experience; it depends on the business needs. But it is your career, and you can rotate.

It can be stressful when it's deadline time and you're on a must-fix defect, but that comes with the territory. You will be challenged.

Advice to Management
