Svantaggi
This may be a function of a particular team/department and YMMV. Not great work/life balance - All major holidays in the end of the year are blocked off (due to the nature of the business), so it is difficult to take time off during normal holiday season. However, once holidays end, it is difficult to take time off due to a rush of new work before next holiday season. Rinse and repeat. Culture of us vs. them between departments/organizations. No incentive/reward to collaborate, since it is easier to say work is blocked because of someone else. Work seems to fluctuate between (rare) periods of stagnation when nothing happens and more typical periods of crisis with not much in-between. When crisis is the more typical state, it makes you think why...
