Svantaggi
If you are lucky and you have interviewed the interviewee well, and you know in advance the team and work then its okay. Otherwise, they will lure you in with the pretext of cutting edge products and projects - only to know 6 months down the line, that due to "Org changes" you have been put on maintenance projects using outdated technology and over-bearing processes. Lots of politics - and HR is NOT your ally. They are spokespersons for the management and will do what they say not see what your benefit is. HR is not your ally - ORg changes, Manager changes, role transitions are all left upto the manager's discretion. Inspite of all the tools and processes transitions are dealt with utter disregard of the persons career, strength, skills etc. If you fall prey to office politics, HR is not on your side. you cannot register a retaliation complaint becuase its impossible to prove it.
