There are NO growth opportunities unless you are a favorite. The company used to be better at hiring from within, now the options are limited. No matter how spectacular you are at your job, even if you go above and beyond, you will not get promoted unless there is a business justification. This is a policy HR has laid out. Exception is if you're part of the "in" group. You must always be on "sell yourself" mode. This company celebrates individuals who can best sell themselves rather than those with the most skill. Of course networking and building relationships is important, but they truly are about shiny, pretty and will use resources accordingly. Speaking of resources, they always run very lean, despite the company size. They will keep adding more and more work without adding resources so that quality declines in favor of quantity. So many areas will be impacted for a while if single person leaves the org. Highly matrixed chaotic "structure" to the point of confusion, it is a large company, so that may not be true in all areas, but it definitely is in mine. Individuals more interested in land grabbing and checking boxes, rather than working collaboratively for customers and consumers. Very difficult to grow skills, in many ways, I am less marketable than when I started.
