As you might imagine success and happiness causes heavy conpetition for the smallest of career advances. In the past growth was so huge that opportunities were many and they filled those internally. However, after achieving mid-size company and refocussing their growth and thought process, many of the attributes are less noticeable than before. While management still cares, they can do less about it. Financial assets are spent on marketing, outside advisors, analytics, mergers, new offices, quality control, education, and unnecessary overhead, not on internal employees. Knowledge growth is huge here. My advice is to use Henderson as a stepping stone not your long term company. I left to start my own firm based on the knowledge growth and confidence I achieved as a professional engineer and project manager here, but wasnt allowed to call myself a project manager or receive higher pay for being one.
