- Slow progress on your career, as a young professional in my 20's this was a bit of a drag. They will not tell you this but the minimum standard for getting to band 1 is 2 years. Promote from within means you play by their rules and time schemes.
- P&G Costa Rica has low salaries for IT employees. This was a problem since I joined on day 1, and I worked for 4 years. Their "IDS" function as they call it is not being paid competitively, me and my friends left one by one for higher paying jobs outside. They say they pay competitively but I was being paid less than the average salaries of my college graduation classmates.
- In some areas (non-IT), politics plays a large role in who gets promoted instead of who really is performing.
