      Very political organization and has poor senior leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It’s an entrepreneurial environment serving some of the top companies and investors in private markets.

      Cons

      It’s a very political organization where various individuals fight for power and influence. Competition can be a good thing but there is a lot of back stabbing and employees are often mistreated.

      Good Company lacking HR Leadership

      Human resources project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is solid and has great benefits. The mission of the company is great. A lot of wonderful and smart people. Branding is great.

      Cons

      HR Leadership seems inept to deal with problems within the HR organization. They keep loosing key people and not realizing the reason why. The reason are HR leaders who can’t manage people and are stuck in their ways. I’ve seen HR leaders make people cry in meetings. The CHRO needs to clean house or else they will loose significant talent (which they already have).
