Pros
I learned some skills in the HR area (mostly with no guidance which is not a pro) and got to meet great people and new places (abroad) during my time there.
Cons
I do not recommend working for this company at all. The upper management (this includes the CEO) is extremely unprofessional and treats their employees extremely bad. They have no respect at all for work-life balance and expect you to work long hours (way more than regular startups) with an average compensation - not to say that they want to make the employee “grow fast” in the company and they promote people in a short time even though they’re not ready (developed enough) to be in that position level. They “invest” in leaders for all departments but HR (which is the most important and where they’re always failing), never had a proper leader that could really guide me and teach me what I need to learn to develop myself as a professional. - That type of behavior causes people to get confused, extremely frustrated and anxious. Most of the upper management from other business departments that never worked with HR before are the ones saying what the HR department should do (as if they knew it). The new “amazing” ideas they have and make the HR execute it, are always very unclear, confusing and pointless, leading of course to no results at all. They spend a lot of money on the wrong resources for HR when really the simplest thing they could do is hire an experienced professional. And it's like they're stuck in the Stone Age, with an archaic approach of making the employees go into the office every day, even though they consider themselves a startup and want the employees working 12 hours per day - I would stay from 8am to 5pm at the office and after at least 2 hours of traffic when I finally got home I had to reopen my laptop and continue working. - But it’s easy to make all employees go in person to the office everyday and say you’re giving the example by doing it as well when you live literally 10 minutes from work, have a car and don’t get stuck in traffic. While people are taking more than 1,5 hours to get there using public transportation. They have no tangible results to show for their efforts, their so-called 'revolutionary' idea is nothing more than a pipe dream and they have nothing to show for it except for causing burnouts among their employees. They play with people’s lives and careers, and think it won’t have consequences. I would strongly advise anyone considering joining this company to think twice and look for better opportunities elsewhere, save yourself the trouble and stay away from this place.
