Pros
If your idea of professional growth includes moving into a management position, you're all set if you've been tagged by leadership as a management prospect.
Cons
If you have not been tagged by leadership as having management potential (or if you would prefer to be an individual contributor), there is no real path for promotion. My company was bought by GE. We thought assimilation would be like in Star Trek: we would be the Borg. We were wrong. Years later, only leadership has been assimilated (they drank the Kool-Aid), and most cube-dwellers struggle with terminology and process.
