Bad career progression with poor local mid managment - Senior Process Technologist Shell Employee Review

Little career advancement opportunities, especially in the technical space. People who perform well typically get stuck in their role with poor reasons given not to promote them. Prefer to bring in expat than promote locals who are more than qualified. Fast career progression depends on who you know, even if you are not a performing employee. Salary package is good for the role, but not for the years of experience. People with tons of experience are unable to move up the career ladder. HR is blind to all these as they are only concerned with benchmarking for the role.
