If you have friends in the right places, great place to be. Get promoted often. If you do not have the right friends, or there is a change of power, watch out. Those in power will give all the promotions to their friends. If you are lucky, you will get pushed into a corner, if you are not, or have a desirable position, they will eliminate or demote you to give it to their friend.
