- limited career progression especially if within a project management type of role
- difficult to progress within organisation if in a project role. Skills and experience are not recognised and thereby difficult to go into positions that are higher. Company seek quite high project management experience to be able to get into initial position, but once in position there is little ability for practical application of skills due to lack of organisational strategy, resources (including people), budget to implement innovative concepts and project governance. This acts to the employees detriment because there is limited exposure to actual project management which means you are not developing or maintaining essential skills recognised in the market
-Even if you work hard and able to show results there is little to no recognition in project roles. Like a lot of organisations career opportunities are often bias; it's not what you it's who you know.
- poor systems and technology: even systems that are internally owned have limited automation.
- project roles are promised to be innovative and fast paced, but you end up just project coordinating and doing a lot of admin activities that no one else wants to do.
