Your success depends on the team you are in and who you are friends with. A lot of politics.
Some commercial teams are not or were not the best place to be.
Some leaders prioritise bringing people they know instead of getting to know existing people.
In the past, there were cases when the power of making important decisions was given to people who were not qualified in the subject area. Questions have been raised but successfully ignored by leadership.
Overall, the nepotism culture leads to a culture of bad managers being promoted while good people have to go. Many strong long-time employees left in the past year. While occasional refreshments can be great, they are never good if there is an obvious pattern of people leaving (or forced to leave).
Internally, many things are a mess, and most employees are doing more work than they physically and mentally can, so there are a lot of mistakes being made and a lot of promises not being kept.
Compensation growth is barely possible. Promotions are more common for some teams and less common for others.
