Management is no substitute for leadership.
Pros: opportunity to work on some big global projects with a perspective that cuts across different customer types, channels, and strategies that can scale across multiple markets.
Cons: very siloed. Matrix str. kills accountability, and fosters "I & me first" culture with little regard to the broader 'good'. Primary objective to to manage the 6 month review cycle by being "yes" wo/man for your mananger - with little consideration for business impact to the customers or to the company at large.
