Pros

Some managers are really great and care about you and your future. Some perks were pretty good, like Friday beers.

Cons

You might get a manager who refuses to communicate any feedback to you, then tries to get you fired! You might also get a manager who was previously a colleague and has no idea how to actually manage people! Management might arbitrarily to move you off the software you have been working for for 7+ years locally to a team across the ocean that you don't know well at all!
