Pros

Work-life balance is great. Competent packages only to those who are lateral hires and not based on loyalty, as is common in the industry.

Cons

Priorities shift way too frequently upending work and progress, often trashing years-worth efforts of employees. Incompetent managers will stall growth even if higher levels of management have a vision for the company and teams.
