Pros

A lot of opportunity to expand and learn in various functional roles.

Take advantage of tuition reimbursement to obtain or extend learning.

Cons

Cons ultimately fall on the individuals who do not take advantage of company opportunity while it lasts. The legacy mindset of tenure and loyalty to a company is changing. Get in, do a good job, grab what you need, and seize opportunity at arm's reach. Always plan as if you were to bail at any moment, by choice (yours or theirs).

Advice to Management

Promote to your teams the overlap of understanding/experience with adjacent teams. Learn your job and the jobs around you. If you already promote this, please continue.
