AARP reviews

Company culture is more focused on consensus building and keeping everyone happy, and the emphasis on this tends encourage mediocrity and stifle innovation and thinking outside the box Processes and attitudes tend to get bureaucratic and slow - I've been in meetings where we discuss the same UNRESOLVED issues for 6 months There are a lot of folks who just float on by in terms of the quality of their work yet still manage to stay with the company for 10+ years; this indicates to me that poor performance is not just tolerated but also accepted as the norm Many employees are here just to retire, and you definitely get the play-it-safe mentality (those who are just here to do the bare minimum on their jobs instead of embracing challenges and making a big difference) Promotion opportunities vary by department, but for the most part is non-existent (unless you apply for a different position within the company)

Career growth opportunites limited to those who have connections. A lot of work silos as well as duplicate work. Rampant and unchecked favortism in work groups. If you come in at a job level that you are happy with, it's fine. But forget about trying to move up the ranks.
