Pros

Great teams spread across the company, but they are hidden gems.

Cons

There's still a lot of old-school senior/principal people that are fish out of water as the company transitions to services.

Advice to Management

It's hard to generalize, but cross-team hiring needs to be considered and planned more carefully. A client principal manager from a client can't really adapt that quickly to a services team. Especially with the people that follow the manager from the client, it gets very demoralizing when people aren't valued for their skills in an area of expertise but rather for their 'titles'.
