Decent company, but very limited growth opportunities

Pros

My colleagues are competent, qualified professionals, with great work ethics. My work was interesting when I first started. There are great perks like an in-house private clinic, gym, cafeteria, etc., and good benefits.

Cons

An unfortunate side effect of the recent cost-cutting initiatives has been a lack of career development opportunities. I've been checking the internal job postings religiously for a year and literally nothing has come up in my Group. The department I work in has been downsized and there are no growth opportunities where I am, not even within my role. I have to choose between stagnating in my career or looking elsewhere.

Pros

Company culture and values with an important focus on safety. Upper management walks the talk. Well organized. Exciting challenges and a lot of opportunities for networking.

Cons

Company is going through a very hard time and is looking for its identity. Lots of travelling - difficult to deal with work and family.
