Great people who are passionate about what they do.
Good technology and products – sometimes not the "best," but a superior story/proposition.
Good hygiene factors – a genuinely supportive company and good working environment.
Very political at times - progression/support/initiative can be very "who you know" based rather than "what you know".
Sometimes more emphasis is put on your visibility or the appearance of success, rather than actual results.
Shouting about success is good, but planning for it is important as well.
