Great company, but really difficult to move up internally

Pros

culture, work-life balance, company mission, benefits

Cons

No matter how great your contributions or positive your reviews are, it is almost impossible to move up internally. I've seen people progress by leaving and then coming back. I'm at the point where I will have to leave so I can move up.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with are wonderful, good benefits, flexible workplace. I learned a lot during my time with the company, a lot of opportunities, went through big corporate changes / challenges. Definitely trained me well. Your manager makes your experience for sure.

Cons

My last year soured the experience completely. Extremely political in nature, promotions by favor only. Was told I would not get a role before I even interviewed, favorites are played. Rules are changed for re-organizations & promotions depending on who you talk to.
