Pros

Employee compensation packages are decent however you need to weigh that against the cons.

Cons

Data integrity issues are a constant headache, driving far too much unnecessary manual rework. The technology doesn’t help. It is either outdated or so fragmented that reconciling data across multiple sources feels like a full time job in itself. Because there is no reliable internal system to aggregate payroll, tax and financial data therefore everything ends up in Excel. At this point, Excel is carrying far more weight than it ever should. It is 2026 and the reliance here should NOT be this heavy. On top of that, processes and workflows, especially those that span across multiple teams, are barely documented, if at all. The so called central database for guidance is only useful if you already know exactly what to search for. Otherwise, it requires digging through dense paragraphs to find a single buried detail or giving up the database search and pinging a ton of colleagues for the answer. Between siloed teams, disconnected systems, and unclear ownership, understanding the full flow of data feels more like guesswork than a defined process.
