Kontras
Promotions are often based on favoritism and internal cliques rather than merit or performance. There’s little transparency around promotions or account assignments. People tend to “sit” on accounts long-term, making it difficult for others to grow or transition into new opportunities. The company culture can feel stagnant and resistant to change. HR is virtually absent. While leadership promotes an "open-door policy" in update meetings, the reality is quite the opposite — HR has no meaningful presence or support It's difficult to switch portfolios or advance unless you’re favored by leadership. Resentment long term staff, potentially due to perceived competition rather than performance issues
