Cons

can’t be promoted or move to another division in HR, no room for growth or mobility within HR. Lots of politics. They fail to recognize talent within their own Division. HR heads need to be evaluated by an outside consulting firm

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
