VERY LIMITED GROWTH. This is a flat organization and if you want pay/job to keep up with the market, you have to lobby to create a new position, move laterally, or leave the company. Don't expect to end your career here and climb the ladder of responsibility.
Tendency to hire outside people than let internal folks grow into a new role. The company claims a 75% internal promotion GOAL but falls well short of that in reality.
Lots of folks at higher levels that are simply camped out until they retire which stifles creativity, innovation, and risk taking.
Very cost conscious culture which could be a "pro" but not when it stifles the opportunity to take healthy risks or break the design paradigm. This cost culture also is the main reason why the organization stays very flat. "We don't have enough money" yet the shareholders make millions and millions of dollars.
Some departments have terrible cultures because of the leadership in those groups. If you are considering making a change or be hired in, pay attention to the leadership styles and expectations of each department. They can feel as different as European countries.
