Pros

Opportunity to learn & access technology that is in demand.

Cons

* Cliquey & Uncollaborative & Passive-aggressive * Marginalized if you don't speak a certain non-English language. * Seen many managers (who mostly also hold engineer roles) consider the "manager" role a nuisance, resulting in poor management.
