If you are part of the inner circle, the group of people who simply agree with everything management says and never raise concerns, you may receive occasional perks such as paid trips to international expos. For everyone else, there are essentially no benefits worth mentioning. Advancement and rewards here are based on loyalty to certain people, not on performance or merit.
