Good Company. Advancement Difficult

Pros

Good work life balance. Friendly environment with supportive workers. Variety of roles you can take and learn from to develop yourself and build your own expertise.

Cons

Consensus culture can limit ability to get decisions made and implemented (if act decisively, not seen as a team player, or stepping on toes). Reaching higher levels (Director/VPs) difficult to achieve given strong bench of talent and limited opportunities.
