Updrafts & Rip Cords
Pros: Over 17 years, I worked in 3 different divisions (Online Advertising, Enterprise Sales & Partners - US and then WW), Consulting Services WW) - each time, it was working in a new company without the necessity of learning the basics.  It was a phenomenal opportunity to drive new projects, make a positive impact and move to the next role.
Cons: There is very limited upside if you have worked there for more than 12 years.  The funnel starts to become very, very, very narrow for opportunities and growth possibilities.  Unless you have solved world hunger in hte last 12 months, you will be asked to leave at some point - so be ready with Plan B.   You are almost guaranteed the necessity of pulling the rip cord.
