Pros

You get paid a salary

Cons

You can get dev listed at any time by your manager without any warning. There are quotas for performance management and even firing "underperformers" or making them quit, say 6% per year. You have almost no shot at making a case for yourself and whatever your manager says is taken as truth. Even if you exit the dev or performance improvement plans, your rating may be fixed for a year and your job is not safe anymore.
