Pros

Good salary Great customers to work for Smart people Mostly remote (but for project-based travel) Good benefits

Cons

Can't get promoted easily.

Very limited relationships with colleagues (everyone is remote in professional services).

Can get blindsided easily - this is scary for obvious reasons.

No real value for experience/skill - everybody is an architect (anyone ranging from 8+ to 20+ years).

Advice to Management

Do not dilute the architect role.

Conduct some open houses onsite.
