Pros
Great colleagues, a strong company mission and vision that align with innovation and growth.
Kontras
The HR department is, unfortunately, a key issue at this company. Professional boundaries are often nonexistent, with conversations frequently straying into personal territory or adopting a tone that feels more like a lecture than a discussion. Expect unnecessary feedback on your attire, even if it meets business casual standards, and a general sense of micromanagement that stifles autonomy.
Career growth is not a priority here unless you’re part of the right circle. When you ask about advancement, you’ll likely be told the company prefers external hires or, worse, receive ‘advice’ to leave if you’re serious about growing your career. Promotions are often reserved for personal connections rather than those with the appropriate skills or dedication.
If you’re part of the HR department, be prepared to participate in every company event as if it’s mandatory. And once the event is over, expect to stay behind and handle the cleanup. Your contributions and extra effort might not even be acknowledged, but they’ll certainly be expected.
HR leadership seems more focused on maintaining appearances than substance. Achievements are frequently rebranded as her own, and challenging tasks are often avoided or delegated. While she presents herself as the most capable person in the room, her actions rarely align with the standards of professionalism you’d expect.
On top of everything, the role itself often includes tasks far outside your job description—such as loading water into the car or dealing with toilet clogging issues—all in the name of ‘teamwork.’ The company has potential, but the HR environment significantly undermines what could be a more supportive and professional workplace.
