Pros

Challenging work. Great ambition and expectations in results.

Cons

This dysfunctional department during my tenure went through 2 upper management changes. While direct manager was trying to give good advice within his own transparency of the upper management, however the upper managers were not engineering centric while they were managing technology projects. The results seemed reflection of the disorganized upper management and lack of technical aim and direction. So it would not be realistic to push one's software engineering career under a team of 'project managers' without enough technical background or vision to lead the teams; thus lost staff and stuck in their career...
