Pros

This company prefers internal hires/promotions over external hiring, especially for below VP level job roles.

Cons

It takes a long time for HR to promote the internal employees even if they are going above and beyond their job roles. Also if you were to look at another internal job posting and want to move into that new role, you would need you direct line managers approval to move into it.
