- Unclear (read: non-existent) growth ladder for most teams - Internal philosophy is to hire instead of promote - Recently hired a large number of middle managers who are focused on building a castle instead of growing employees, working on high-leverage projects - Comp is not competitive, even for those who outperform - Project ownership is a thing of the past - Top level management talks about transparency and open doors but those who speak up are reprimanded by middle management - This company is not what it used to be
