Career mobility – Opportunities to move across functions and regions for those who are proactive.

Cons

High performance expectations – The pace is fast and standards are demanding, which can impact work-life balance during peak periods. Organizational complexity – Decision-making can slow down in larger, cross-functional initiatives. Internal competition – Advancement can feel competitive, especially at senior levels.
