Pros

Work life balance is good

Cons

Senior management tends to promote the same staff (talkers) every 6 months along with salary raises while the doers do all the work without recognition. Young unfit employees are getting titles of group leaders and line managers without being accurately assessed on their skills while staff are suffering with managers who reside in different regions and take all the team credit. Senior managers get their families hired without interviews and skill assessments. Talent acquisition does not do a great job in hiring talent but rather fill positions with known references. Unit HR is absent and not very involved with hearing concerns and staff issues, providing delayed responses and even ignoring requests by messages and emails, as much as acting busy to speak in person and choosing to only speak to people of choice. Suggestion to speak to HR regarding these concerns is useless.
