Pros

You will be thrown into the fire, but hopefully you can be tempered by it. Challenging at best, burnout at worst. Being compartmentalized just means you're left alone and not micromanaged, until you are.

Cons

You will be thrown into the fire, repeatedly. Outside of handling the task at hand, you may as well be shoved into a closet with an occasional knock on the door to see if you still have a pulse. Lack of clear and effective direction means supervisors are being too hands-off or too hands-on.
