Pros

Internal Promotion Only is nice. If you get lucky and are placed in a division with kind, helpful management that will invest time to coach you and advocate on your behalf you got it made.

Cons

Management can be good in some teams but, the “QMS” division is full of awful management. They have tunnel vision on an employees metrics and don’t account for other aspects or skills you bring to the table. Worst part is they pick and choose what metrics they care about. For example, you can be #1 in your division for “outreach” but they don’t care if you struggle with something else, and on top of all that some management will not coach you on what you struggle with.
