Pros

- Multinational company - HR consulting firm - Good to put on CV

Cons

- Poor Salary & bonus: You work for super long hours (7 days a week & 1X hours a day is possible) and receive poor salary & bonus which far below the market - Promotion is not linked with performance: You may get promoted until you find another job or wait for a long time that you may not be promoted as well - Upper management do not recognise you: No matter how hard you work - Some of the upper managements are poor to provide the guidance and blame on you or they are lack of experience to manage a team / people - Super high turnover rate

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
