Cons

Senior Leadership (C-level and direct reports) seem to get bored of the status quo once or twice a year and completely change everything.

Often, you might change teams because of a re-org, and this may or may not impact your performance review progress.

Promotions were once frequent, but now seem hard to come by.

Advice to Management

Stick with a decision for longer than a year.
