Pros

Free food Stay at good properties Events which you would never be able to enjoy because of the kind of culture the seniors maintain

Cons

There are only cons. All I can say please please don't spoil your career by joining the HR team in this organization. You would regret it. HR managers do not even know the H of HR. Extremely insensitive and political set of arrogant people. The problem in the team is that there is little quality of work and everyone is fighting to get that share of work especially the incompetent managers in the system. There is alot of time with them to design political dirty strategies for people rather than concentrating on the little work they have and to add value.
