With the scarcity of internal positions nowadays, there will be tens of people interviewing for one position, so there is a good chance that you are not going to get it. While managers pay lip service to the idea that they are there to support your career, you frequently become a pariah in your group after you have tried once to leave.
Allow easy internal transfer, without notifications to current management. That will help break fiefdoms throughout the company.
