Pros

The company has projects in almost every different area, so you can work on areas that most interest you.

Cons

Software engineers are considered interchangeable, and the stack ranking implies this. So, if you work on an all-star team in a desirable area, you will not be properly rewarded.

Advice to Management

Take a look at the bad attrition rates in the company and change the reward structure for the types of people that you are losing to the competitors.
