I don't there any cons different from changing jobs in general. It's just a more annoying/ less smooth process than most people would assume it to be

Depends what you're looking for: better WLB, Interesting Work, Passport.
From personal experience transfer within is easier if you are well connected.
Cons means you will need internal approvals so no control over timeline and might have some visa type limitations e.g. UK intra-transfer.

Generally if you like the brand/firm you're in definitely go for transfer as might help in returning back within the same team.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
