SME positions marginalized
Pros: Lots of opportunities since there are lots of projects. Some bright but frazzled people and more than a few who think they know how to lead
Cons: If you're brought in at a high level with specific expertise, make sure it doesn't run counter to the established thought process or you won't get any traction. If you happen to get by the client partner and are able to articulate the truth, you may find out it conflicts with the project goals - increased revenue growth over client satisfaction. Happened to me 6 times in 9 months - 4 of them had the plug pulled later when the client got educated.
