Pros

I supported the Human Resources department hiring throughout the entire organization, but primarily the HR dept. I visited Richmond for a week long training but sat in the Plano office. Great Company Brand Culture is similar to a consulting company Remote employees are celebrated Remote working is celebrated Process-oriented work culture Intelligent Hires- Rigorous Interview selection process to include case studies

Cons

As someone who directly recruited for the organization, I interacted with hiring managers at the Manager to Director level. Bureaucratic Process Oriented work culture- Lots of Red Tape to do simple tasks Dogmatic Leadership style- Yelling Screaming Berating employees Unfair hiring practices with regard to discrimination of candidates based on race, nationality/origin widely practiced. I would not advise anyone of color to work in the HR department.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
