The way they do pay increases is not competitive with industry. We have awesome pay scales, but the reality is that most software engineers don't even meet midpoint of these ranges. Training is non existent for those who want to grow technically. I wish someone had told me this before I started here. Friends that I graduated with, that went to other companies, actually had technical growth with current industry technologies. Here there is zero, which really sets you back and makes it easier for them to retain you if you stay because you are no longer competitive in industry.
