Pros

Long Term potential, Salary, Knowledge of technical staff. The transformation groups are doing exciting work. MBM framwork for the most part will lead to good outcomes if proper knowledge is sought.

Cons

In the PMO, MBM is misapplied in many respects and creates an upside down command and control culture where people stop bringing ideas forward. PMs are overallocated and in some cases managed by leaders who have no prior PM experience, so many times wrong decisions get made. Sometimes toxic and immature environment in PMO where scape goats are looked for instead of management assuming responsibility and really working through issues with PMs. Leaders sometimes us provisional principles to keep themselves safe.
