Pros

It is funny that i can not name any. Several of us are looking to leave . People in the HR department are running from this place and if they speak up are fired.

Cons

This place is so fake. I work in HR. This place is scary. We now have senior american keadership in HR who just makes empty promises. Just had a meeting with upper management of my department. Talked about unfair labor and pay practices in the company. Looks like nothing will be fixed. We need help.

Pros

I think the last comments are a little short-sighted and unfair (as well as incorrect), there are American directors in HR, Real Estate, Procurement, Construction, Purchasing - perhaps not in Supply Chain or IT yet, but it's only a matter of time and effort before we prove ourselves there too. In general I think any ratings which have only one star or five can be ignored. True comments will always be constructive and realistic.

Cons

I'm a millennial too, but I feel a lot of my millennial colleagues have unrealistic expectations. I think the Europeans are ok, but they seem to be under a lot of pressure too.
