Pros

You get paid a salary.

Cons

You can get developed and listed at any time by your manager without any warning.

There are quotas for performance management and even firing "underperformers" or making them quit, say 6% per year.

You have almost no shot at making a case for yourself, and whatever your manager says is taken as truth.

Even if you exit the development or performance improvement plans, your rating may be fixed for a year, and your job is not safe anymore.
