HR dominated environment

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Infectious drive and enthusiasm from senior management and a respected brand performing well.

Cons

Mysterious domination by HR in all areas produces zero income but seems unassailable. Questionable gender pay gap. Lip service only to diversity which is farmed out to employee groups rather than delegated to HR who produced the problem in the first place. Would not trust any anonymous reporting promise.
