It all depends on which team you're on
- Lot of great challenges, tons of scale.
- Startup mentality within a large corporation.
- Process for making decisions is valuable: lots of document writing.
- Great pay.
Culture inconsistency. Because every team is under 10 people, the dynamic is very different. Some teams are fun and have a collaborative culture, and others prefer to do things on their own and only support when asked.
Promotion process is overly tedious. It's easier to get hired externally from a higher role than to be promoted. Lengthy document process that usually takes 6 months to a year from when you're ready.
Work hard to foster collaboration if you're not already, and make the promotion process easier for employees. This involves more work on the promotion documents from management and a faster process once everyone feels they're ready.
