Team lead can bring you to heaven or hell

Geologist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice pay, pension, flexible working hours

Cons

Forced ranking system - hesitate to share knowledge with same job grade colleagues. Company does not appreciate hard workers, but favors hard talkers (high visibility). If team lead is not willing to say good words for you, you screwed. You will always hear things like "oh, you did great last year, but others did better than you".
