Cons

About a 50/50 chance of being put on a crap team.

The first team I was on was well organized and very helpful. The mindset was: if one of us fails, we all fail. It was easy to have fun and learn new things.

Fast forward to my next team. It was extremely unorganized, wasteful of time, while piling on the maximum workload. Then they threatened your job if you didn't complete 100% of it. No one was willing to help anyone.

The leads were absent 75% of the time. The senior dev was above answering junior and mid-level questions. There was zero knowledge transfer (it's a "figure out the job, tools, and resources on your own" situation, making anyone less productive than they could be). And it just overall took every ounce of fun out of the whole job. Once on a team, you have to stay with them for 1-2 years.

Advice to Management

Great managers should train less effective managers.
