Pros

Work-life balance will not create much work pressure.

Cons

The manager is god; people are not judged on skills, but rather on how close they are with their manager.

There are irrelevant concepts of People Manager and Project Manager, which become the same after a period of time, i.e., your PM also becomes your PeM.

Managers are mostly non-technical; they are only functional. They don't understand how irrelevant leads are leading the team with no knowledge, but managers can't judge them because they are non-technical.

A single resource has lots of managers above them (stupidity).
