Pros

Lovely people, great location, good business model, smart leaders.

Cons

HR is completely divorced from what the business needs. It's like they're on their own island checking off their to-do lists, when employees and managers and leaders actually need support and empowerment. They have no strategy, no real sense of purpose and no direction. And yet...the company is yearning for a solid and relevant people function to help drive change and growth.
