You have to be in the in-crowd to get promoted - Information Security Engineer Union Bank Employee Review

You have to be in the in-crowd to get promoted. Doesn't matter if you have done senior level work for years, even new employees barely worked with company for one year get's promoted doing same level of work or less. With new CISO in place, newly implemented rule is you have to work at level of position you want to promote to first before you are considered for the promotion. Anything you did in the past that have proven you were more than qualified doesn't count going forward. if you are in the in-crowd, such as going on annual trips to Vegas as a group etc you will get promoted. If you don't hang out outside of work, don't count on promotions.
