- Little to no career progression
- No meaningful performance related pay or incentives
- Lack of long term leadership and strategy causes the company to chase immediate goals, to the detriment of its overall market standing and workforce morale
- Risk averse investment and product development process can be frustrating to work in; good ideas are seldom rewarded or acted upon
- Little to no mentoring or succession planning, making it difficult to increase your skills or progress
- More work than there are staff to do it, and the situation is only getting worse; individuals in key positions are expected to work excessive hours to get projects over the line, with no reward and often no thanks for their work
