Same Stuff, Different Day

There's no career growth unless you luck out and are taken under the wing of a manager who is currently doing well with the CEO. There's no lateral movement either.
Most projects are about fighting fires. Long-term proactive projects do not get the time of day.
Everything is siloed, with sharing of knowledge on a need-to-know basis.
Some managers play favoritism, and so it can get political.
Push for internal career advancement rather than hiring outside managers most of the time.
If you prioritize better long-term projects, you won't be fighting fires all the time.
