Pros
1. Opportunities to be an Individual Contributor. 2. Flexible work from home option. One can work for months from home.
Cons
1. Detrimental Politics. People will be very good in front of you. but back stab you. For some reason, few managers encourage playing all politics. Most of the time they gossip about others and about their personal lives. 2. Demoralizing with negative and false comments. People who maintain good rapport with managers by nodding to everything they say will get great reviews. Others will be demoralized with negative statements about their work. 3. Less opportunities to work on different projects and technical stacks. 4. Lack of transparency. Both in projects and people management, there will be no transparency. No one will have idea on who is working on what module. No one will have a clue on what it takes to reach to next career level. Do not get surprise if someone steals the credit for your work. 5. Unnecessary escalations. People escalate for everything and anything, even if it is a low priority defect. Very common to see harsh conversations.
