      Favoritism limits career growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable job, hybrid work, free cab

      Cons

      Growth opportunities are limited by a "favoritism" culture. To move up, you need to focus more on internal politics and social engineering than on your actual job responsibilities. Meritocracy is secondary to personal loyalty.
