Pros
People and jobs are both interesting.
Cons
If you are an SME and used as a resource on projects you will be used as a tool on projects by other managers at your same level in a variety of ways. Sometimes as a backfill doing lower level stuff and sometimes as a reference book to the absolute control of the person who owns the project. In short, if you don't control the project, you have little input to the project design, and probably will not have much participation in those metrics which are used for promotion. Thus, your career path is limited.
