Stable Salaries are ok Most people are friendly
Cons
Impossible to grow if you are not friends with management, every year they will have an excuse to add more responsibilities without more salary because "you are still in the path". PMs with technical knowledge? a dream, get ready to be micromanaged and asked the same stupid questions many times a week Growth is heavily dependent on personal relationships with management rather than performance.

Project management often lacks technical depth, yet still exerts strong control over implementation details. This leads to constant micromanagement, repeated questioning of decisions, and time lost re-explaining basic concepts instead of actually building solutions. Client interactions are not balanced. There is little protection for developers, and unprofessional behavior from clients is often tolerated or ignored as long as the contract is intact. Your well-being is not the priority.

Over time, this discourages initiative and creates a culture where speaking up feels pointless.
