Depends on the group you are working in - Anonymous employee Ingram Micro Employee Review

Little opportunity for promotion, almost all Exec Directors, VPs, etc., are brought in from the outside. Also, you can't be a manager with less than 6 direct reports, therefore, if you are on a team of less than 12 people, you will never get the opportunity to move up to manager on that team. They go through layoffs every few years...they expand, decide they've expanded too much, and then contract.
