Pros

New innovative tech to learn

Cons

You will change teams every couple of months. This means it's hard to get into a routine and truly learn any one process the company does.

There's an "ivory tower" problem where repository custodians and team leads drag out approvals and can't seem to get over some unnecessary things. Jira stories will be pretty much useless. It's not worth the hassle.

Stop trying to make going to an office cool again. It's not.

Advice to Management

Stop changing teams.

Stop listening too much to tech people. I mean, upgrading your test suite as a major overhaul on a partially deployed product is a waste of time and, most importantly, money. I guess when you've got money in the bank, you are less likely to think where it's going.
