Pros

Great when you're earlier in career and will be given lots of opportunity to learn. Relatively fast to get promoted every two years when you're early in career.

Cons

Difficult to get promoted when you're mid career and promotions can be incredibly subjective and circumstantial. Lots of inner politics to be dealt with.
