Fun place to work, but watch out for politics and your career
Fun place to work, but watch out for politics and your career
Exciting products that you can feel associated with. You are given opportunities to work with smart, creative people. Depending on the team or job, it can be an exciting, challenging experience. Great campus and work environment at corporate headquarters.
Depending on the job, you may just get stuck implementing others' or management's decisions.
You can get blindsided by politics (re-orgs, program cuts, or even layoffs).
No formal training is available internally. You must learn on the job (if you are lucky) or find external means (classes, books, web) to learn or get experience with new technologies.
It's difficult to transfer internally to other positions - there's no career pathing this way; you are on your own.
HR offers little support in this area (perhaps they are powerless).
Also, your boss can easily block a transfer if they choose.
Provide some internal opportunities for employees to gain skills in new technologies, languages, etc. Provide support for employees to grow their careers by encouraging internal transfers when appropriate.
