Good salary compared to most, but not the most competitive. Really good perks and benefits.

You have the illusion that you can easily change careers.

It's hard to get in as an industry hire. The only way is through referral. Management commits to you to make themselves look good on their review rather than enabling individual contributors to provide value to the company.

Moving inside the company doesn't mean you get a better salary or role, just a different job.

To move towards getting people to be individual contributors to growth in their careers and allow them to be agile in providing value to the company, rather than just working to show off their own accomplishments and try to go up the corporate ladder, leaving all responsibility for bad or half-done choices to individuals they have not committed to themselves.
