Organsied chaos - Business Analyst Shell Employee Review

Talent policies can get very messy. While it is true that having a strong network will improve your chances for promotion, there is a trend of promoting people of low ability. In fact, being capable would limit your growth. Toxic individuals who are part of the circle are constantly promoted. Rest are taken for granted. Performance reviews are 100% subjective. Heard stories of restructuring where many lost their jobs but also many got free promotion after a "review" of job scope.
