Pros
You will have the chance to meet some talented and ambitious individuals.
Cons
-- Leadership quality can be inconsistent across the central teams. Some managers appear to lack the technical expertise, domain knowledge, or practical experience needed to effectively guide their teams, while still maintaining high expectations for employee performance. In some cases, individual contributions are not adequately recognized, and credit allocation can feel uneven. There is also a tendency to prioritize narratives and presentations over deep subject-matter understanding.
-- Lower than market pay, longer hours.
