Pros

If you are in a good team with established people, you will learn a lot and feel your life is enjoyable. If not, you are just wasting your time here.

Make sure you talk to a bunch of folks to identify whether the team and group you are going into is a good one or a bad one.

Cons

The company is trying to change direction to move fast. Upper management is playing around with the lives of high performers, making them unproductive and stealing their fun.

Advice to Management

Stop screwing around and decide what you want to do instead of spending a year thinking about it and screwing up the fun of Software Engineers.
