      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

      -Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

      Cons

      -Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
