Great Team but HR is a roadblock - culture can be toxic

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Helpful and supportive colleagues - Easy to work with management (at least within my dept) - Support available for all types of individuals - Offers free training and learning courses for your respective field

Cons

- Promotion approved by leadership, but HR denied the pay increase - HR policies seem to override management’s input and support - Unclear career progression despite strong performance - Significant additional responsibilities without fair compensation - Sexism and frequent talk of politics (US Politics) in the office (we have to go in 4 days soon so I'm not looking forward to being around more of that) - Unclear direction from different teams (some employees don't seem to know how to do their jobs - creates confusion and slows down everyone else. I shouldn't have to tell someone from a different team how to do his/her job, their manager should)
