I worked for a major (Fortune 5) corporation, for about a year and a half (back in the 1980s).
In that 18 months, they had three major reorgs.
After one one of them, the new VP (a lawyer), brought the team into his (very nice, very large) office, and started the intro talk with "I hate computers."
On the flip side, that is the kind of boss to which you might be able to say, "Great, I'll keep things running, just leave me do my work.", and end up with a fully autonomous position with a boss who never bugs you.
"You're all a bunch of weird dorks. I don't understand you, and I don't understand what you do; but you'd better not screw up, and, for Pete's sake, stay out of my office. This is the last time you'll be seeing the inside of it, unless I'm gonna ream you a new one."
Nice guy. Think Lumberg, from Office Space, but nastier.
I work in a large company, where we have very regular "re-orgs" and it makes no difference. It doesn't change the work I do, nor who I work with. It's busywork for middle management and power plays for executives, it doesn't affect me.
So I don't think that it's interesting to know to judge the position. It's irrelevant.
