Salary reviews and pay rises are impossible to obtain. Basically have to reapply for the same role you have but at a higher pay grade when it's available and risk losing your current job.

Management does not deliver constructive feedback but attack your personal character. Will impose ever-changing deadlines and priorities and when they make mistakes, they blame it on you. When work goes well, they take the credit for your work and are promoted using your efforts as stepping stones. Any feedback, professional development reviews, meetings are done only from a HR perspective without anything being actioned - only to show they tried on paper.
