Pros and cons. Multiple choice can be frustrating for students because it's all or nothing. Spend 10 minutes+ on question, make a small calculation error and end up with a zero. It's not a great format for a lot of questions.
They're also susceptible to old-school cheating - sharing answers. When I was in college, multiple choice exams were almost extinct because students would form groups and collect/share answers over the years.
You can solve that but it's a combinatorial explosion.
