Not much upward mobility. When I say hard work is rewarded, I mean because I worked harder and smarter than the rest.
Work was challenging, but stopped being fun. Our dept was drowned in work. It was only a matter of time before the integrity of our work was compromised. I did not want to be around for that.
More positions should be created between the Senior analyst and manger level in order to induce better performance. I could tell some on the team began to dog it when all they had to strive for was 3% merit and a boatload of work. This rendered an environment where folks do just enough work to keep their jobs.
I was grossly underpaid for the work I did.
