Growth Opportunities Were Not Equitably Distributed - Anonymous employee IDEXX Laboratories Employee Review

There were few growth opportunities within my team. Leadership relied heavily on a single subject matter expert (SME) for reporting team performance and participating in meetings related to the team's processes, which limited involvement and advancement opportunities for other team members. Despite expressing interest multiple times in growth, process work, and new responsibilities, those opportunities were consistently given to the same individual. This created a perception of favoritism and made it difficult to develop professionally. Concerns regarding team dynamics were raised with management on more than one occasion, but little changed.
