Strong AI talent overshadowed by poor project assignments - Lead AI Scientist Silo AI Employee Review

Silo AI is basically a consulting company. Although there exist several AI talents, the COO and managers do not bother looking into any CV. When there is a new project, the assignment is made primarily to the people they know and they like. As most of projects are average or below average for most of AI people, there is no need to find good people to assign. As a consequence, several AI talents are there without project and are considered "useless", no promotion applied over the years. Benefits and promotion are reserved to a group of people. The CEO seems do not want to intervene much to the COO and other's work.
