Pros
  1. People are nice here.
  2. Not much politics; everyone is passionate about their work.
Cons
  1. The career promotion paths are rigid. You have nice salary adjustments, but not much chance to promote fast in terms of position.

  2. Training and learning resources are scarce. We need a waiting list, and some rare skills are not available in the training site subscriptions.

Advice to Management

Separate the pay grade and the title system.
