Pros

good salary and benefits, office location, home office, flexible working hours, 8-hours-workday

Cons

A lot of organisational chaos. Pursuit of automation and tracking everything is leading to less effect with more effort and to unnecessary administration around the real tasks. Tasks are becoming simple, repetitive, and boring, the workload higher and higher. Employees' voice is barely heard. No clearly defined career paths and poor support from the management. In my opinion HR in GBS is not department for ambitious people.
