Vantaggi
Non leadership colleagues are talented and genuinely collaborative, when given work and trusted to execute. Occasional opportunities to work with cross-functional teams that offer more professional respect and recognition.
Svantaggi
HR leadership is highly micromanaging and distrustful. Projects are constantly reworked without explanation, and meaningful feedback is virtually nonexistent. There is no internal feedback culture. In over two years, I received more constructive and appreciative feedback during my two-week notice period from cross-collaborative partners than I ever did from my own leadership. Employees are often overlooked, underutilized, and expected to stay silent. The “keep your head down” mentality is prevalent and encouraged by leadership behavior. Leadership changes brought in individuals focused solely on self-promotion. Recognition or development of internal talent is rare, and promotions are minimal. Requests for growth or development are routinely ignored. The CHRO publicly claims to support talent development, but there's no visible or consistent investment in people. Feedback, if ever given, is often shared sparingly and part of a strategy to push people out and replace them with friends or former coworkers of current leaders. Middle managers either play into the same political game or are too afraid to advocate for their teams.
