You have to get a manager who wants to be a manager. You need them to fight for you, elevate you, highlight your accomplishments to senior management otherwise you get lost in the shuffle. They don't encourage movement to other depts as much as other companies, and it can literally take years to get a promotion. The unspoken rule is you do the job for a year and then get the promotion. Also, be vocal and open with others about equity/stock/shares. I found out it was very unfairly distributed on my old team with some people in management lying about it without even being asked directly.

Plenty of latitude is mostly due to management apathy and inaction. Horrendous aging codebase shows signs of prolonged hacking and neglect. Senior researchers tend to throw their weight around and outright blockade development they don't agree with. Most other staff are frantically bugfixing for the researchers who avoid code reviews entirely. Your career can easily be stifled falling into the servitude of research staff with endless menial maintenance. This process leads to a revolving door of staff with heavy attrition. Try here. If you get lucky you can get something done but if you experience misconduct then prepare yourself to exit promptly. Expect no help.
