Pros
- Exposure to a wide range of projects across industries - Strong networking opportunities, with access to colleagues and clients from different countries and disciplines. - Plenty of resources for professional development, including personal trainings, certifications, and courses to support growth.
Cons
- Chaotic and unclear processes (“spaghetti way of working”) that slow down productivity, efficiency and quality. - Pressure from upper management creates insecurity, politics, and territory-defending behaviors (because of new bench time policies). - Low trust environment, with gossip, lack of clear communication and lack of open collaboration among colleagues. - Competition for “good projects” is strong, and sometimes manager politics can be a barrier. Your manager could be a very high barrier for getting projects, visibility and promotions.
