Pros

Not a stressful job on the team I was on.

Cons

Felt like management+ levels don't necessarily know what they want to do. If your team is deemed redundant then prepare to be a line added to next round of layoffs. Then you find out afterwards they had to pull in people from other teams to fill the vacuum you left.
