Pros
Exposure to large-scale enterprise and government programs, including complex environments. Opportunity to work across delivery, operating model, and transformation not just execution Strong network of capable people; many individuals are highly experienced and supportive. Flexibility to shape your role in some engagements.
Cons
Role clarity can be inconsistent, expectations often evolve without clear alignment, which can create ambiguity Heavy reliance on internal networking to secure your next role; pipeline visibility is not always transparent. Systems (e.g., scheduling/demand tools) are not always up to date, requiring manual workarounds Communication between leadership, PMO, and delivery layers can sometimes be fragmented You may need to “create your own path” rather than follow a structured progression.
