There appears to be absolutley no interest in the employee from middle (perhaps Sr.) Management in developing an employee's career. The same can be said with regard to HR for employees in general. Professional development is effectively a pipe dream. Whatever spot you may come in to fill, you are destined to remain there seemingly for eternity, no matter your professional merits. You are more or less a slot filler, and treated as such. There are quite a few "maintainers" who work here, knowing full well their careers are not & will not go anywhere. These folks are however, seemingly content because of the lax environment and relative freedom the environmernt provides. Middle Managment is a complete and total joke.
