Cons

HR gets in the way. Do not care about what their engineers want out of their careers. The rotation program will throw you into a random group as opposed to letting you grow in your field of interest, which is essentially shooting yourself in the foot.

Advice to Management

Let engineers hire engineers. Let engineers guide other engineers. Let engineering managers decide paths for their engineers. Tell the HR folks and marketing folks to own up to their mistakes.
