Cons: There are limited opportunities to explore new things, and a lot depends on the organization you’re part of. My direct manager tends to focus on the negatives, which can be quite demotivating. His communication style is often difficult to engage with, as he tends to lecture more than listen, making it hard to have constructive discussions.
