Great job, great perks, great fun-- but HR is a nightmare of mismanagement and poor decisions
Pros: Great benefits, fantastic knowledge-sharing, relatively flat hierarchy, a true sense of community, a perpetually-rewarding work environment, incredible sense of cross-company cohesion, nice perks on merchandise and hardware, great relationships with your immediate management
Cons: HR makes contradictory statements and claims, HR makes terrible, short-sighted decisions, lack of communication between senior management and lower levels, inflexible full-time scheduling, many conflicts between work and personal life, people can and are fired instantly, job performance is mostly irrelevant unless you are in sales
