Pros
I’m the exception to the rule, I’m kind of in a unicorn position, but I have my own autonomy which I really enjoy. This means I get to prioritize what I feel is most impactful the majority of the time. Mileage may vary heavily depending on your manager so take that with a grain of salt. Profit sharing is a nice bonus even if it isn’t guaranteed.
Kontras
The pressure can be rather intense at times and I could understand why some people couldn’t deal with it. There is also a large scale problem with not address the performance of people who do not contribute which by itself is kind of bad. The problem with that is they try to pass those responsibilities onto their top performers instead of addressing the people that aren’t doing their jobs. This puts extra pressure on people who are doing their jobs.
