Pros

Work life balance and opportunity

Cons

Worst Human Resources. They are the worst and haven’t have their existence. They are dummy who follows what they management ask them to do - right or wrong to the employees. Why dont they understand that they also are the employees only

Pros

Considerably good comp&ben package and great work/life balance

Cons

Maybe not for all the functions but HR function is full of unclear promotions, no peer equity and your fate is dependent on your manager's maturity. Your peers who have managers who do not have enough maturity or rewards understanding could end up "luckier" than you, does not matter how succesfull you are.
