Pros

The people The work Flexibility Inclusion

Cons

Some leaders are not people-oriented. Your trajectory may depend on the type of manager you have. If you are unlucky, and they don't like you for whatever reason, you may wait around for a promotion even if you are highly competent. Some people managers are better off as single contributors and not fit as people managers.
