No room for growth, dead industry
No room for growth, dead industry
Good professional and personal development (not tangible). Lots of learning; a huge amount of training facilities. Wonderful, smart people to work with.
Zero professional growth in benefits. Newcomers enter with higher pay and grades. No promotions or career development opportunities. Very dampening atmosphere.
People are the key to successful technological organizations. Retain the people in downturns to come back stronger during upturns.
