Pros

Good learning scope from technical.

Cons

severe burnout due to a complete lack of work-life balance and constant late-night demands. On top of that, the promotion path to VP has turned into a highly complex corporate political game requiring executive sponsorship, rather than a straightforward merit-based advancement.
