Pros

Ability to easily change jobs used to be a big plus, but the last 4 to 5 years it became necessary as a tactic to hide. In the right groups you could chart your own course and work on things that were interesting, since management rewarded innovative approaches.

Cons

There was no unified direction the last couple years. All work was related to getting into an "essential" position and becoming visible. The vision changed with each quarter and MLP could not figure out how to use his capital wisely. He never seemed to settle on a strategy for longer than it took to write the quarterly report.
