Pros
friendly and social colleagues international environment and exposure good benefits (health insurance, pension fund, good meal allowance) opportunity to learn from doing
Cons
barely no training or supervision you are expected to do tasks beyond your expertise and training heavy operational and administrative work with a lot of responsibility, visibility and no guidance hr managers hire non experienced people to do complex tasks hr managers gone from department all day. no resources available to escalate things. bad environment, unmotivated people and complainers lots of dead weights who turn a good job into an inefficient one in the end. if you complain about this you’ll get told ‘nothing will change’ no concern for quality of work delivered - only numbers matter (but the bad ones such as turnover are ignored) local managers disrespectful, know nothing about procedures low salary considering heavy workload and responsibility lots of blocking points and bureaucracy. all the good performers leave so every time you get more and more junior people who need additional time to be trained or low performers. senior recruiters/team leaders who don’t want to work so they have less and easier vacancies, junior recruiters get the complex roles/challenging managers
