Pros
If you know some one at VP/ President /Director level and form a clique - you always will be looked after even after failing to perform. You need to be part of the closed circle and not necessarily to deliver. Smart Executive Management Staff and Board and knowledgeable covering the lack of knowledge of the rest of the team. Excellent Board , Presidents and CEO
Cons
There is never a set KPI to measure the performance of employees given to measure at the start of the year. Performances are measured very subjective, judgmental and unprofessional. HR policies are dated , often hidden agenda, secreted and tacit arrangement used for conveniences. If you do not have any God Father or person who knows you, no matter how smart you are - sorry. Very unreasonable HR, Senior Management with no respect to company policies or treating people with respect. Vendor selection is also done on subjectivity and failed vendors /consultants get repeat orders. DON'T TRUST on verbal promises from Recruiter, HR or even your Hiring Manager. Selective memory. Contractors /Consultants are rewarded highly than own staff. They sack the smart staff to replace with mediocre yes man contractors to have least resistance in execution.
