Yeah, but if you're not already in the job, the distribution of "teams that are currently hiring external candidates" can be quite skewed towards the worse side of things, and if you don't know this going in, you'll have a very bad time at most large organizations.

A successful strategy is quite frequently to treat your first team at a company as just the second phase of an interview to get into one of the better teams in the company. Depends on the company, to be sure, but I've definitely seen many instances of "we're a good team, we know it, we'll happily poach good engineers from any team we like". It helps that the good engineers are going to be unhappy with their current team and looking to make the switch, anyways.

If you don't switch teams within your first year or so, it usually means you a) got very lucky at random, b) got into a good team because you knew someone internally with good info and were able to short-circuit the process, or c) you failed to network/interview well enough internally to move up, and you should probably either be okay with a dumpster fire or move to another company.
