Pros

All of the experience you need will be given to you.

Too many processes to comply with rather than focus on the main tasks.

Many opportunities, especially for managerial roles.

Junior Resources are assigned to have a Senior role to make them "experience" how to be in that role.

Cons

You are doing more than what you are paid for.

Your rank is Software Engineer, but the role you are doing is for Team Lead Software Engineer. It's risky if you do not accept the role because there are others of the same rank who want that position. Those who accepted it are more likely to be promoted.

Technical people are not prioritized.

For example, we have two Software Engineers, A and B. SoftEng A is very good in technical tasks. He focuses on the technical side and does his tasks in technical areas well. He even proposes new technologies that can be used. SoftEng B is also a technical person, but he focuses more on a managerial position. He offered his boss to take some managerial tasks and accepted to head the monitoring of the team. Who do you think will be promoted based on performance achievement? Right, SoftEng B.

There are too many OTs, and sometimes the OT pay was not paid. You will be offered an offset instead, which is not really an offset. When you come back to the office, you will still do the tasks that you left.

Advice to Management

Focus on the technical people. Value the work and life balance.
