- Skill and talent is not recognized; in fact, great skills are under-utilized (so much for the "8 wastes" concept)
- The IT department (for fixing our work-computers) does a poor job; most of my issues I had to resolve myself
- You can be a workaholic with a lot of ambition, motivation, and skill, but that will get you no where in this company. You need to be a friend or family member of someone important or be someone that the lab managers like to be able to get promoted.
- Management cannot come up with a logical reason for why they promote (or not promote) people. They come up with many poor excuses that are easy to disprove, yet they still cannot admit that they are wrong. At least after everything was said and done, I now make more then the members of management that did not recognize my skill. I got a programming job as a senior developer. World Wide would not even consider me for an entry-level position doing scripting for the rack servers. Oh well, it is their loss and problem now, not mine.
