Pros

Matrixed organization that allows for quick flexibility moves to new teams in the company. If you find yourself on a team you don’t like management works to find you new work within a reasonable timeframe. Weeks to a month. Not years.

Cons

IT department is underfunded and overwhelmed making the lives of engineers hell, because they cannot support the very different needs of each team. Some times you have to fill out several stages of forms
