Pros

Always work to be done Great ability for work-life balance if you don't mind being on calls all the time

Cons

- Tough to deliver meaningful successes in a short timespan - Career growth predicated on proving yourself through deliverables...since it takes forever to deliver, expect real growth to take a long time - Building consensus through meetings ise more important than actually getting work done
