Pros
Competitive compensation and benefits Opportunities to learn, particularly for individuals who are highly self-driven Exposure to cross-functional collaboration and enterprise-level processes HR is accessible and open to feedback, though impact is limited
Cons
Workplace culture is heavily influenced by internal politics and informal power structures Limited diversity in leadership, particularly at the middle-management level Environment may be especially challenging for women and new hires Middle management demonstrates gaps in people leadership, communication, and accountability Strategic priorities are frequently unclear or shifting, impacting execution Responsibility for systemic issues is often placed on newer employees rather than addressed at an organizational level
