Relaxed environment but unclear promotion process

Pros

- Relaxed work environment - Pace is slow, not a lot of urgency generally - Interesting technical problems when I joined, but given recent technology shifts this may no longer be the case - The pay to work ratio is good, even though you may be below market slightly

Cons

- Lack of career growth. The promotion process was difficult to navigate and the requirements were unclear - Restructuring and churn, every year I worked here I had a new manager -
