To guide personal development and performance we have a well-established people development process in place, for example focusing on career planning conversations based on mid and long-term development. In terms of career advancement, we put a lot of effort into making career opportunities visible to our employees and helping people find new opportunities within the company.

Pros

there is good pay and benefits

Cons

instead of streamlining, the company continues to add layers and complicate processes. also, if you are someone they realy, it doesn't matter how badly you do, you will get promoted. No matter how well you do, if you aren't liked, you will be dumped on with tons of extra work, and never be promoted. You will be stuck right where you are, no matter you apply for. 16 hour days just to get the work done and nobody listening when you tell them you have too much work.
