Pros

Many opportunities to work on innovative projects. My team members are talented and supportive.

Cons

Some old teams are sluggish and hard to work with (talking of cross-team projects). Bad HR management. A boss (who lacked technical knowledge) enforces multiple layers of reporting just to flex his power (and to slow the team down).
