    Good people and interesting work, however career progression and remuneration were far behind other companies on the same level.
    The good thingsThe people and the work was enjoyable.
    The challengesVery few opportunities to move up, particularly when starting in a junior/graduate position. Often sourced employees externally instead of seeking suitable internal candidates for succession, resulting in little to no career progression for existing employees.
