Pros

Great complex and ambiguous projects, Get chance to deliver big projects at mid level. You can find more technical challenges, you learn how to deliver and work at difficult situations.

Cons

Slow promotions in tech, 50-60% of SDM's are not from non tech background and their lack of technical depth makes difficult to work with.
