Cons

Your happiness depends on your boss. Some are great, some are absolutely terrible.

There's a zero-growth strategy in Technology. Managers likely look at your resume and use a dart against a board to choose your title. There is no learning path or path to change your title unless you have a manager or boss that really likes you.

Advice to Management

Create ways to grow in the company, like junior developer to senior developer, etc.

Bosses and managers should be more focused on raw talent than filling their egos and impressing the higher-ups.
