"From well to pump" (progressive) career becoming less feasible: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Senior Manager en Shell

Too process-based, what limits creativity and new ways to respond to same old (endless) issues. General lack of leadership skills: people progress in their careers more based on time in the company and "right" (?) connections, instead of the proper background. Highly political environment, that allows your career to progress ONLY if you make, again, the "right" connections.
