Pros

-Meaningful products that genuinely impact customers and society. -Exposure to large-scale, multinational complexity and cross-functional collaboration. -Many teams and leaders genuinely care and want to do the right thing. -Flexibility and autonomy can exist depending on leadership and business unit. -Opportunity to drive meaningful change if leadership alignment exists.

Cons

-Significant organizational complexity and matrixed decision-making slows progress and creates ambiguity in accountability. -Teams are expected to deliver transformational outcomes without sufficient infrastructure, resources, or organizational alignment to support success. -Decision-making is reactive versus strategic, making long-term planning difficult. -Inconsistency in leadership quality and management approach across functions can create vastly different employee experiences. -Collaboration across global regions can be challenging due to competing priorities, differing expectations, and unclear ownership. -There is a disconnect between stated people-first values and day-to-day employee experience. -High-performing employees experience a high degree of burnout because of unclear boundaries and role clarity and prioritization is not actively managed.
