Pros
  1. Good for development work - working on the latest stuff, new projects, and fresh code developments.
  2. Flexibility in terms of work schedule, timings, and employee empowerment.
  3. TMs are empowered to contribute to designs, etc.
  4. Great for women.
Cons
  1. Growth is super tough. Promotion needs luck. You need to be in a team where such an opportunity is available, perform beyond limits, and do enough work outside projects (be it hackathons, etc.) to create sensational visibility powered by good contacts. Only then does a promotion work.

  2. Regular good work in day-to-day life will always fall short for a promotion.

  3. Good growth for lateral hires, but super tough for existing members to go through.

  4. Much appeasement for women TM's, who get a longer rope and support for growth. Lots of programs for women and it's much easier to move up if one is even a little okay resource.

Advice to Management
  1. Please encourage similar support for male TM's as well, just the same way you do for women.

Finally, contribution matters, and not necessarily if it comes from a man or a woman.
