Pros

Flexibility and it's not hard to look like a superstar if you just work a little hard because others around you show low productivity or no sense of urgency.

Cons

Diversity. If you are a person of color you are still treated as a supporting role even with more accomplishments and degrees because you are in not in "the club." You will be talked down to, not trusted, and put on secondary projects in middle manager roles-Giving little to no hope career progression is an option. The 50% female C-Suite is the biggest accomplishment in the past few years - but even that lacks it's diversity.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
