- Your fate is decided by your manager. If he/she doesn't like you, you can stay int he same level for several years and never get promoted because they need people who can do the less glorious work too - Bing Ads in the bay area has some of the worst people managers. They cannot stomach critical constructive feedback. Have witnessed several of my outspoken colleagues forced out of the team. - There is occasional evidence of racial bias in hiring and promotions. Take a look at the names of people in some of the teams, you'll clearly see this. I've been on interview panel where despite having strong hires for a person of not the same ethnic background, they were not hired. The hiring decisions are not transparent to the interview panel. It is entirely in the hands of the hiring manager.

too much red tape around things, takes a long time to move on somethings
