Pros

- It allows you to gain broader experience and knowledge from outside of your own role because sometimes you will need it. - Great people and colleagues within teams. - New CEO seems a good fit for now. - Good WLB if you're satisfied with your current position long term.

Cons

- Company direction changes every year or every quarter at this point. Important processes can be switched off or replaced overnight with new ones without any information provided beforehand. A position and employees that were to play a vital role within the company going forward can be made entirely redundant next year without a warning. - Specific roles within the company being suddenly replaced or deleted, job titles changed and people with new roles suddenly expected to do the job of 2 different departments. - Utter chaos in organization of responsibilities and role-to-role collaborations. - Company's always out of money when it comes to promotions and payrises for the "standard" employees doing the hard part but there's more than enough money for constant position switching, hiring and internal promotions of the upper management. - Non-existent internal development paths, murky promotion rules. - Ongoing brain drain and constant risk of further layoffs.

Capable teammates and PMs, great cross department cooperation within project teams

Typical of all CROs you will very likely have a very high workload and little time for air.
